I am running mac OS 10.4 with Parallels 3.0 (build 5584) and Windows XP Pro. This worked great for over a year now. As of yesterday I am unable to connect to the internet from Windows. There is no issue on the Mac side. ipconfig on windows returns "Media Disconnected" status for the Ethernet adapter. I cant think of what I could have done to cause this. I tried reinstalling the Parallels Tools with no change. Any ideas? How do I connect the media on Windows (or configure Parallels to pass it on to Windows) Many thanks
Hello, Please uninstall and reinstall Parallels Tools, a) On windows side click on start - > control panel - > add/remove programs - > from here remove the Parallels tools completely. Shut down Windows properly,restart the Mac. b) After restarting Launch Parallels Desktop - > actions - > install Parallels Tools. Now Parallels Tools will be automatically installed. After installing Parallels Tools - : 1. On MAC side Go to System Preferences - > Sharing - > Internet and turn off Apple Internet sharing. 2. Please set Parallels Network Adapter to Shared networking. 3. In Windows please open Network Connections -> right-click LAN icon -> find Local Area Connection properties -> select Internet Protocol TCP/IP properties -> open General Tab and select Obtain IP and DNS server addresses automatically check boxes.
Thanks for the reply. All is now working as expected. Still not sure what could have caused this Many thanks
