    I recenetly upgraded my MBP to the GM of Mac OS Mountain Lion (10.8) and after launching Parallels (Build 7.0.15098) I receive the following error message "Failed to open Parallels networking module." I followed the suggested fix for the error but it doesn't actually fix my problem.

    After restoring my default network settings theres another error message The IP address of Parallels network adapter has not been changed. Ive attached two screenshots of the full error Im receiving. I uninstalled and reinstalled Parallels same problem.

    Thanks!

    same error here with OS X 10.8 (12A269) and MacPro3,1.
    fix suggested here doesn't work for me either.
     
  4. My 10.8 GM shows the same boxes....

    I finally got the networking module to work again!

    I deleted the two files
    /Library/Parallels/Parallels Service.app/Contents/Kexts/10.6/prl_netbridge.kext and
    /Library/Parallels/Parallels Service.app/Contents/Kexts/10.6/prl_vnic.kext

    then reinstalled latest Parallels Desktop 7, started the VM and it automatically installed Parallels Tools.
    After a reboot of the vm everything just works fine...

    Where do you find those 2 files that need to be deleted?

    Go to spotlight -> terminal -> copy and paste these command.

    sudo launchctl stop com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon
    sudo chown -R root:wheel "/Library/Parallels/Parallels Service.app/Contents/Kexts/10.6"

    Parallels 7 networking problem in mountain lion

    Do you use the uninstall to remove parallels then reinstall the newest version?

    @ygpan1 You do not need to. It will override the current version.
