Hi I would greatly appreciate your help on an issue that is driving me crazy: I have XP on my Parallels on Mac OS X 10.5.2 and I have it set to Shared Networking. I am facing two different situations when I am running Parallels and trying to get onto the internet: 1. When I am at home and connected to my wireless network , my Outlook is connected, but I cannot get to the internet via Internet Explorer (version 7). 2. When I am in college and connected to the college wireless network, everything is fine! Any ideas? Please help!!!! Diagnositics on IE when I am at home: Last diagnostic run time: 04/06/08 19:44:28 Network Adapter Diagnostic Network location detection info Using home Internet connection Network adapter identification info Network connection: Name=Local Area Connection, Device=Parallels Network Adapter, MediaType=LAN, SubMediaType=LAN info Network connection: Name=Local Area Connection 2, Device=Cisco Systems VPN Adapter, MediaType=LAN, SubMediaType=LAN warn This machine has more than one Ethernet or more than one Wireless adapter info Redirecting user to support call HTTP, HTTPS, FTP Diagnostic HTTP, HTTPS, FTP connectivity warn FTP (Passive): Error 12007 connecting to ftp.microsoft.com: The server name or address could not be resolved warn HTTP: Error 12007 connecting to www.microsoft.com: The server name or address could not be resolved warn HTTPS: Error 12007 connecting to www.microsoft.com: The server name or address could not be resolved warn FTP (Active): Error 12007 connecting to ftp.microsoft.com: The server name or address could not be resolved warn HTTPS: Error 12007 connecting to www.passport.net: The server name or address could not be resolved warn HTTP: Error 12007 connecting to www.hotmail.com: The server name or address could not be resolved error Could not make an HTTP connection. error Could not make an HTTPS connection. error Could not make an FTP connection
Similar issue I'm having a similar issue that I can't for the life of me solve. When at work Parallels can connect to everything fine but at home all I can access is work related things, like my work e-mail and the internal work websites. I can ping everything fine but I can't connect to any websites in IE or Firefox. wget in cygwin surprisingly works fine but just not IE. This reminds me of the old winsock days...
I experienced this when I came home from Denmark to England I use shared networking in the VM in Denmark I am on a LAN and it is plug and play back in England I connect via router to TalkTalk DSL and I was stuck until I went into Mac OS System Preferences and changed to Built in Internet to using DHCP which this other ISP required Network status reads:- Built-in Internet and Parallels NAT both have green buttons Parallels Host-Guest is connected but has a red button like Airport which is off because I am using wired LAN cables Just got build 5600 after getting Sp3 forWinXp on the VM (the usual Mac OS reboot and then reinstall Parallels tools to complete the update) Hugh W
