    I recently changed from Comcast to CenturyLink for my ISP. The new modem also includes a built in router that I have to use. However, I want to continue using my Apple Time Capsule for both backup and my wi-fi network. If I connect my Time Capsule to the new router via ethernet, everything works as before with the following exception. I get a amber blinking warning light on my Time Capsule (apparently it doesn't like being plugged into another router.) If I update the Time Capsule network to Bridged, from DCHP and NAT, the warning goes away and I get a green light on the Time Capsule. The Mac network works fine, but my VM Network quits working (IP Address already in use).

    I tried a number of settings in the VM, but couldn't get it to work.

    I can live with the blinking amber light, but just thought I'd ask to see if there were any suggestions on the right VM settings that would work when the Time Capsule is in Bridged mode.

    I'm not seeing a lot of help here. I have parallel desktop 8 and can't connect my internet to it. I can't get any information that is directed specifically to this issue. It's simple how do you connect to parallel in order to use my sip from my apple laptop. I can't upgrade anything nor will I want to if I can't access the internet. I only bought it to use microsoft access but it's not that important given I have a PC but I'd like to use my Mac and use parallel to use windows.

    Hello WMesser,
    Unfortunately we no longer support Parallels Desktop version 8, it is now an end of life product, please refer to the article http://kb.parallels.com/123274 .
    I would suggest you to follow this article and install Parallels Desktop 11 to fix this issue.

    Well when I bought 8 I couldn't get it to work so I'm not confident spending more money if it's not going to resolve my issue is the answer.
