Ethernet (Bridged) - "Unidentified network"

kgmessier

Bit poster
I'm running Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac (Build 7.0.15094) and using Windows 7 as my guest OS.

At home, I connect to the Internet using my AirPort wireless network in bridged mode. At the office, I connect using Ethernet in bridged mode.

If I go from my home network to my office network without shutting down my laptop, I receive the following in Windows 7:

Unidentified network
No Internet access

Even if I restart Parallels (without restarting the laptop entirely), I still am unable to connect to the network/Internet. Only after I completely restart my laptop then log into Windows 7 on Parallels while in the office does Windows 7 then recognize the network.

Any idea what is causing this?

Same problem

I am having the exact same problem. It seems to work fine if I do Shared but as soon as I do Bridged I start to have problems. For what I do I need bridged mode.

Also I have Mac OSX 10.7.3
