Linux Guest and Networking

I have RHE 4.3 installed and it fails to aquire the network through DHCP on either network adapter. This used to work just fine in beta4 and now fails in beta5.

 

Parallels beta5, MacBook Pro
Just got a kernel panic after shutting down a Redhat VM:

I had to do an extra step do get it working (Parallels 2.1b6):
DHCP configuration was not working so I had to set up a static IP address. Just choose one not used on your network and also enter your subnet mask and router address. Finally, in the DNS tab, enter your router IP address also. This worked for my Ubuntu 5.10 installation
