I actually tried installing it as Guest first too, but it's incompatible with the ACPI (or APCI, I don't know). So being the beta-fiend that I am, I just said oh well and completely upgraded my XP. And for the record, so far I'm not too impressed with Vista. Had to fiddle with the sound...

Before anyone asks, yeah yeah I know it's not officially supported yet. But I just installed Vista Beta 2 and pretty much everything works that worked in XP (in fact, it basically looks the same when you turn off the near-useless new graphical features). However, my pride and joy Parallels...

Thanks for replying Dave. Your solution sounds easy, mine was a *little* more complicated but not too bad overall. Tim from the Parallels team solved it in this thread for me. Are you aware that a newer version of Ubuntu is out? I'm now using the 6.06 beta.

Kostjaz - ignore anything Constant says. He is a troll who is counter-productive to the Parallels community and I don't see why the Parallels team hasn't banned him yet. Funny that there was an article on Slashdot just yesterday regarding Linux snobs being the barrier to mainstream Linux -...

Constant why are you here? Go away. Please ban this troll.

Did you change Parallels from Bridged Connection to Host-Only Networking?

Tim: Your product and your assistance lives up to my name - time to register my copy of Parallels! Baker: I would try to do what Tim instructed me to do. I'm on wired, and everything works now.

Andrew, I just called my ISP and they said the problem can be fixed via a router, which will assign static IP addresses to my systems. I also use XP with DHCP enabled right now. Is there a workaround in Parallels for this so I don't have to go out and get a router? I am having virtually the...

Baker, I'm having this same problem with wired ethernet. It may have to do with your cable modem. I am calling my ISP now and will tell you if I get anything to work.

Hmm, my actual IP address shown in the Network Connections (tested it with ipconfig as well) is a 24.xxx, as is the gateway.......is this real bad?

Connection here is cable, ultra reliable (most of the time, ha). IP Addy for Parallels is 10.37.129.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 As you can see in the screenshot, niether of these show up under "eth0" under Ubuntu.

According to XP, Parallels has its own IP Address and Subnet Mask, but it has no gateway. (Is it okay to post my IP info here? Seems like a fairly secure forum, but better safe than sorry.)

Thanks for replying Barry...rather than trying to type everything out, I've attached a screenshot. According to Windows Network Connections, the Parallels is set up fine...

Ray, where did you find Dapper Drake? I thought it wouldn't be out for a few more months...is it beta?

Thanks for the advice Ray. I read that thread up and down and tried some of the stuff in it, but still nothing in Ubuntu. There is a network connection for Parallels in XP and it's working fine, but for some reason Ubuntu still gets absolutely nothing. I'm sure the answer is probably real...

Yeah but none that worked, would deleting them make a difference? I don't see why it would...

Thanks for replying Barry. I think I picked the default install but networking is definitely a part of the system, comes with Firefox, network tools, the works. I can set it up between DHCP and a static IP address but niether work. Basically, my problem is the same as XP if your network...

Dude, if you're going to help by saying RTFM, don't waste either my or your time. I have RTFM thank you very much and am not sure what else to do, which is why I registered here. Configuring a network in a shell environment is a little different than doing it as a standalone OS, isn't it you...

Just installed Ubuntu as the guest OS with a XP SP2 host and although my network still works fine in XP, I can't get a thing in Ubuntu, can't even ping out. Any tips??
