Internet Explorer has a problem connecting. I have no idea how to fix this. Help please!

I can access the internet from OS X through Firefox, but I need IE to get to certain sites, and, as you can see if you look at the file below, I cannot connect to the internet.

Well, the network device icon (like the spider's web) has a little red x on it - something is wrong with the network connectivity to the whole VM.

Any ideas how I can fix the problem with the virtual machine (I assume that is what yo mean by VM)?

If you click on the spider's web, what options are ticked? I have found the most painfree way of running networking in Parallels is the "Shared" option. I think "Bridged" is the default.

I took another screen shot. It should tell you what exactly is ticked.

That "Disconnect" is ticked should raise a flag.

Select the top option, Shared, which enables the network card. Confusing a bit, given there is another Shared option already ticked (third option)

I have the same problem. I have restarted my Mac but I get the message about "Failed to open the Parallels networking module..." My question is this- How do I load the driver "sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/prl_netbridge.kext/ "?

Hey,

You need to enter than command into a Terminal (command line) window. The Terminal application is in Utilities folder.

It will ask you for the root/admin password.

To learn about these command line tools, when you get into the command line, type "man sudo" and "man kextload".
