Internet Disruption (disconnect) every 45-55 minutes Sierra+Parallels12+Win10pro (bootcamp)

Aloha guys,

I have a strange issue. About every 45-55 minutes my intentness connection drops long enough for all my game clients to disconnect. I did a clean/fresh install of macOS Sierra and then did a bootcamp install of Windows 10 Pro. Then I purchased Parallels 12 for a clean install there. After installing everything (games) I'm able to play via Parallels just fine for about 45-55 minutes and then all my game clients disconnect. I log back in and can play for another 45-55 minutes! Very weird - I generally play 4 game clients at a time.

Testing -
Before this update overhaul update I was running El Cap with Parallels 11 and Windows basic version (NO BOOTCAMP). Before reformatting the computer I made a copy of the Virtual Machine .pvm file.

So here is the testing part - With the Parallels 11 .pvm file I was able to drop it into the fresh install system Sierra + Parallels 12 and BAM it works fine, no dropouts. So the .pvm (v11) works fine in v12+Sierra.

Another test, Run Windows Pro via Bootcamp partition (no macOS no Parallels) and it works perfectly NO disconnects.

Another test - I started a new virtual machine and pointed to the boot camp partition. This one also has drop outs.

My conclusion is - The default settings in Parallels with the Windows 10 Pro have some sort of network issue.

What I will try next -
I am going to set up a virtual machine of Windows 10 Pro via Parallels. If it works find then I'm guessing the problem is between Parallels and Bootcamp.


If you have any advise please let me know,
Frederick
