Big Sur and Parallels: "Network initialization failed"

Since I have upgraded to Mac OS 11 Big Sur when I start my Windows 10 virtual machine I get this error message "Network initialization failed. Your virtual machine will continue working normally but will no have no network connection".

I tried the solution posted on some forums to use Terminal with this command line: "sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist && sudo killall -9 configd" but to no avail and the problem still persists.
Anyone with some ideas? Does Parallels 16.1 solves this issue?
Many thanks for your help and support.

 

me too

same problem

 

FWIW I am on Parallels 16.1, with the Apple Hypervisor, and have not experienced this problem. It shows as an open problem still on the Big Sur problems page however, but you may want to try an upgrade to 16.1 anyway as that same page shows a number of other Big Sur-related issues fixed in 16.1.

 

I am on Parallels 16.1 and DEFINITELY am experiencing this problem. Tried the fix. It didn't.

 

Hello, could you collect the tech report and post the report's ID here please?
(please collect the report once the issue reproduced)

 

I have this problem after upgrading to Big Sur. No network connectivity inside any VM, including one created from scratch.

Tech report: 354775063

 

Same here, on Parallels 16.1, no internet connection through Windows VM. It worked yesterday, but this morning after startup only a black screen. No more luck so far today...
Can anyone help please???

 

Hello, Parallels Desktop newest build has been released recently. Please update your Parallels Desktop to the latest build and check the issue. Please share your experiences with us.

 

Ofcourse I already upgraded to version 16.1

 

Parallels version 16.1.1.
Big Sur
Same Issue

 

Are you using Shared or Bridged mode? Have you network connection on your Mac side?
When does the issue reoccur?
Could you also collect the tech report once the issue reproduced please?

 

Hi, are you using Windows VM (or macOS VM)? When does the issue reoccur? Are you using Shared network mode?

I am having the same issue with Big Sur and latest version of Parallels

 

I am on Parallels 16.1.1 on Big Sur and have the same issue mac does have internet and tried shared and bridged mode both not working

 

Yes i tried the command of Parallels but not working this one works that i found sudo -b /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_client_app but only once after reboot or restart of application i have to do it again

 

hi guys when I do the mentioned method it opens parallels desktop but without my vm, its like I'm opening it for the first rime and it wants me to install a new vm

am I doing something wrong?

 

Hello... plese do the following

-> close all VMS and Parallels Desktop
-> open Terminal and type: sudo -b /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_client_app

Parallels will opens and maybe you need to open your VM again... the network will work...
It is a temporary solution while the official parallels support not work this.. its incredible that we not have any solution for official channel.
