UPGRADE TO 5160 and I lose IP addresses

I just upgraded to 5160 and am told " The cable fr parallels host -guest is connected but your computer dies not have an IP address and cannot connect to he internet."

Next to Parallels NAT it says same thing.....two big red dots when I click on Network in system preferences....I am running tiger not leopard, what gives????

 

Switched from Shared network to Default Bridged Ethernet

In poking around trying to figure out why my VM won't connect to internet since latest tiger update, installed today, and latest Parallels 3 update (5160) also installed today, i changed the configuration of the VM network adapter from shared to bridged ethernet. I can now connect, but the two red buttons for network and NAT which appear when you one click "Network" in the system preferences tab are still there. They were both green before I updated to 10.4.11 and 5160. Note bridged ethernet when clicked says its the "default" setting. But I don't think it was set before and did have IP addresses displayed for the parallels adapters before he upgrade.

Can anyone explain this and is this sort of problem made worse if I update to leopard (which I have sitting in a box).

Currently I am a macbook pro, 2.4 ghz, 160 gb, running windows xp professional as my only virtual machine.

has anyone successfully and easily upgraded to Leopard after upgrading to 5160 first, and if so would you mind sharing your experiences with us .

thanks

Hello dhwilliams,

You seem to have these network issues because of some installation errors. Please uninstall Parallels software by means of the "Uninstaller" application (available in the Parallels .dmg package), reboot your MAC and install Parallels again.

Successful upgrade to Leopard is possible, however you'd better wait for a new Parallels Desktop build to be released.

Best regards,
