How do I connect to the internet?

"I have a Macbook with 10.4.11 (Tiger). Parallels Desktop and Windows XP are
loaded. Windows sees the Parallels network interface and internet
connection (through the Mac's wireless connection), but I can't access the
internet using Internet Explorer in Windows. I can using Safari on the Mac
OS." Thank you.

 

Try to disable antivirus on Windows side

 

I do not have any antivirus on the Windows.

 

Put here
ifconfig -a from Terminal on Mac OS side
ipconfig /all from Windows side

And what is network settings for VM?

 

I'm not sure where to find these things. I am trying to learn.
you said "network settings for VM" is this what you mean....In the FM configuration, network adaptor, I have Bridged Ethernet, then Device Status I have Enabled and Connect cable at startup marked.

ipconfig/all from Windows side....My son suggested going to the Start menu choose Run. Type in "cmd" and enter, then type "ipconfig/all" and enter. But all it said then was "Windows IP Configuration"

ipconfig-a from Terminal on Mac OS side...can you please tell me where to find this

Please be patient with me as I do want to resolve my problem. Thank you.

 

ipconfig /all - your son's suggestion is correct

ifconfig -a in Terminal from Applications/Utilities

VM settings - start Parallels Desktop holding Command key -Configuration Editor- Network Adapter 1

 

ok, here goes..

When i do the ipconfig /all in Windows it says

"Windows IP Configuration" and then nothing else

On the Mac side the ifconfig -a says:

In Advanced it says Type Realtek 8029(AS), Mac Address 0012D3BD4625


thank you again, I appreciate your help and patience

 

Connect network adapter to virtual Machine
See how to add devices in Parallels Desktop for Mac user guide from http://www.parallels.com/en/download/file/doc/Parallels_Desktop_for_Mac_User_Guide.pdf page 189

 

Ok I'm having the same issues as the original poster and the reply messages are not helping AT ALL. I have added the network adapter and I still have no connectivity. Does anyone else out there have some step by step tips on how to get the internet up and running in windows XP with a wireless connection on a mac book pro?

Thanks

Do not forget to provide ipconfig /all output

 

When I put in the ipconfig /all it says "Windows IP Configuration" and that's it.

I have reread through the Users Guide again. I changed the networking option from Bridged Ethernet to Shared Networking. Was this correct?

This computer is in another room and using wireless connection to the internet and printer. The connections on the MAC side work fine. I can't get the printer to work on the Windows side either, have been trying Bonjour, but that can be another day.

Thanks, I await your next instructions. johlde

 

Oh yes, I did restart and checked the ipconfig again, no change.

 

Please provide screenshot for network configuration,and ipconfig /all screenshot

 

I have pics of the two windows but can't get them to this window. How do I do it?

 

From Parallels Desktop menu Actions -select Make Screenshot

 

I did that but can't figure out how to get it to this place. I tried copy and paste and that didn't work, dragging didn't work, what is the trick? thanks

I'm going out of town for a week, so when I return I'll get back to this. I don't know how to zip or upload so I'll try and get that figured out. thanks

 

I hope these attachments come through. Thanks, Jean
