    Hello,

    I was running Windows XP in Parallels 6 just fine. I upgraded to Windows 7 and now I cannot get any internet access. It does not even recognize that I am part of a network. I am having driver errors with "Ethernet Controller", "Multimedia Audio Controller", and "PCI Device". Everything worked fine before the "upgrade" but now I can't get any internet or network connectivity. Please help! Thank you!

    Same issue here. The 'problem' is that the Parallel Tools that are installed for Windows XP are not the tools needed for Windows 7. After the upgrade of Windows 7, a new installation of Parallel Tools is needed. Then ... all works as it should.

    So, I reinstalled Windows 7 from the backup disk that I had Microsoft send me and that worked (almost) fine. The issue I have now is that my internet is working, but it does not recognize the network that I am on. I can't find the network, and I need to so I can get the programs that I need to run. Any idea how I can get that set up? Thanks!
