internet restored
I also lost my internet connection ... and whenever i double-clicked on My Network Place it took a looooong time to open up.
Got it working though by opening up a backup hdd file ...
Then went back and opened up my original hdd file - and all was well.
It seems to me that perhaps it just needed to load the parallel tools again .. ?
i.e. if you don't have a backup hdd file then maybe try uninstalling parallel tools and reinstall again.
(dunno)
