Bridged networking is grayed out on both a Win7 and XP VM. I can't find anything in the Desktop Guide to address this. How do I restore this networking option? Thanks.
Thanks for the reply, Eric. Screen shot attached. I can't capture the pulldown - giving Grab the focus closes the Type: pulldown. The pulldown entries are: Shared Networking, <divider>, Bridged Networking: (grayed out), Default Adapter, Ethernet 1, Ethernet 2, vmnet1, vmnet8, vnic0, vnic1, <divider>, Hose-Only Networking. Only Bridged Networking is grayed out. OSX 10.6.5, Parallels 5.0.9376. 2009 Mac Pro, 4 x 2.66 GHz, 12 GB RAM. Problem exists on both an XP Pro client and a Win7 client.
Aha! Now I understand. The thing is that grayed-out 'Bridged Networking' serves just as a separator between "Shared/HostOnly" and "Default/Ethernet1/etc". All items below this grayed out string are bridged.
