    Have been using VMWare for ages and new to Parallels for Mac.
    Question..
    I want to use both NICs on my Mac Pro.
    One NIC pointing at a subnet 192.168.xx.xx using the gateway for Internet access
    One NIC pointing at the other subnet 10.0.xx.xx
    For VMWare I use a set of scripts from the VMWare community to set it up and make it work.
    I use static IPs and it all works fine.
    Just wondered how I can do this in Parallels?
    If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.
    On first look I am quite pleased with the performance of Parallels as I seem to be running some of my Windows stuff faster than under VMWare.
    Thanks
    Russ

    You can add a 2nd virtual Network adapter to the virtual machine by clicking [+] and selecting Network in the Hardware tab of the virtual machine configuration window. Then use Bridged Network for each virtual network adapter, and point each one to a different physical network adapter on your Mac.

    Then you set the static IP's in Windows for each network adapter.
