Lost Ethernet connectivity to Windows

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.
