Internet Access after applying Build 3150

[Jimtaylor61]

After applying Parallels Build 3150 (on MacBook Pro, using Windows XP), I can no longer access internet under Windows. Internet access on MacBook Pro is wireless through Airport Extreme. I set up Parallels Network Adapter 1; Shared networking. When I attempt internet access under Windows, I get the following error message "Connecting through WAN Miniport (PPPOE)...Error 769: the specified destination is not reachable." When I go to Control Panel in Windows, Network Connections, under Broadband there is a single icon 'My ISP' and the message "Disconnected WAN Miniport (PPPOE)"
Can anyone provide guidance on how I can restore internet access under Windows - as I had before Build 3150?
Thanks
Jim Taylor

Note that you can leave the Vista firewall on with default settings and it will work just fine! You do not need to turn off the Vista firewall. Only install Parallels Tools.

Yes and, as has been discussed on various other threads, it's a really good idea to use anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall and other security-related tools when using Windows and connecting to the internet.

I brought back Vista...Target returned it. That is the advantage of buying something like that at Target. Anyway, went and bought XP and used build 3150 and bingo...XP is working and I can get online and really nothing seems to be going wrong. Although I did have a couple little things get a bit glitchy on my Mac OS and not sure if there are any known bugs/issues with build 3150 being a beta version. I am sure there are, but not sure if with what I was experiencing. Here is a screenshot I took of what was going on to my buttons. Weird, just something I will keep an eye on.
Thanks for the info on why to stick with XP for now too!
