    Hello,
    I am new to this forum,and I will be very happy if someone will help me solve my problem. I have not been able to connect to the internet wirelessly using my Ubuntu 7.10( I don’t have a wired network at home). I am presently using parallels machine and my Host OS is window vista business (processor of 1.67, and RAM of 3GB). The Guest OS is Ubuntu 7.10. Everything works very well, but the major drawback that I have is the inability to connect wirelessly to Ubuntu. The Host OS connects to any free wireless network within a split of a second, but to get the Guest OS connect, is a real nightmare for me. I am so used to Ubuntu now, but not being able to connect to the internet is my only problem now.Thanks for your help.

    Have you set up network connection inside of Ubuntu, you should be able to set up several connections, inside host vm. (just make sure that you have the same options with parallels network bottom left)

    Thanks kat.
    I am going to try out your suggestions and will send you a feedback as soon as possible. I am desperately in need of internet connection in my Ubuntu guest OS.
    Thanks once more.

    You can also see and change your network set up from EDIT prior to launching your VM (this would be for the parallels side) Screen shot is just an example of what to look for:

    If you wanna use wireless internet in you guest OS you have to plague a external USB/SAT network adapter for you guest OS , in this case you have to use bridge network. Also make sure that USB adapter have driver for ubuntu. You can use internet using host only network that's will be better for ubuntu guest.
