    I am running Parallels Destktop 14 for Mac Pro Edition (14.0.1).

    I cannot get bridged networking to work with MacOS (High Sierra) and Linux (Mint/Ubuntu). Here is the name -a information from the Linux system:

    Linux mint2 4.15.0-20-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 24 06:16:15 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    As soon as I switch to "Shared" networking mode, the network interface gets correctly configured, and I can get in and out. I do however need bridged networking in order to access a device that does not work with shared networking.

    I've tried the trouble shooting tips from this thread without success: https://forum.parallels.com/threads/linux-ubuntu-16-04-bridged-network-not-working.340386/

    All virtual machines have the latest version of the Parallels Tools installed.

    Here is the output of "ifconfig -a" from the Linux system using shared networking:

    $ ifconfig -a
    enp0s5: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
    inet 10.211.55.37 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.211.55.255

    And here is is with bridged networking:

    $ ifconfig -a
    enp0s5: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
    inet6 fe80::21c:42ff:fe86:3466 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
    inet6 fd00:aaaa::21c:42ff:fe86:3466 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0<global>
    ether 00:1c:42:86:34:66 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)

    TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0

    lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536
    inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0
    inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host>
    loop txqueuelen 1000 (Local Loopback)
    RX packets 1202 bytes 104201 (104.2 KB)
    RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
    TX packets 1202 bytes 104201 (104.2 KB)
    TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0


    I also just tried the same test on an old Win7 vm with the same results: It works with shared, but not with bridged networking.

    In Parallels Desktop Preferences>Networking, I see entries for both shared and host only, but not for bridged - there does not seem to be a way to actually upload an image, so my description needs to suffice.

    Interestingly enough, a virtual machine using VirtualBox on the same system does allow bridged networking.

    What can I do to make this work in Parallels as well?
