Bridged Network Issue

So this seems to have happened after upgrading to 11994, which at the moment I am trying to replace with an older install, but anyway. When using bridged ethernet mode I can not communicate with any of the network services I previously able to (Novel, HTTP, VPN, etc). I get a ip address from the dhcp server, but I can not even ping the gateway. This is only an issue with a bridged network, but I can not use a shared network to connect to some of the services I need.

One issue that I believe might be causing this after talking with our network admin is that the link speed on the adapter shows 1.0gb and not 100mb and there is no ability to set the link speed using the parallels ethernet driver under device manager. This is a Windows XP VM.
