I've installed Parallels on about 15 iMacs or Mac minis with no problems at all, but I have been trying to get a new MacPro tower set up with no success. WinXP is installed and configured exactly like Ive done on other machines, but there is no network connectivity. All the settings in Parallels is the same, and all of the asewttings in WinXP are the same, so I don't know why this won't work. The biggest H/W difference is that this MacPro has 2 ethernet ports. Any help would be appreciated. TRhx!
Try to follow the instructions: 1. Open Configuration Editor for your VM by clicking "Edit" button in Parallels window when you have VM selected but not running. 2. Select "Network Adapter" from the list on the left side. 3. Set your VM to "Host-Only" networking (mind that "Enabled" and "Connect cable at startup" settings should be checked too). 4. Go to Mac OS X "System Preferences" - "Sharing" - "Internet". 5. Set "Share your connection from" to your Internet connection interface. 6. Enable "Parallels Host-Guest Adapter" (also may be called "EthernetAdaptor (en2)") in "To computers using" list. 7. Press "Start" button. If you have Mac Firewall running, you need to check "Personal Web Sharing" in the list of allowed services (or just disable the Firewall). 8. Check your VM's Internet connection. You may need to reboot your Mac for this to work.
