    I've got an M1 Mac on the latest MacOS running v18.1.1 of Parallels Pro with two VM's - one Windows 11 and the other Ubuntu 22.04. Both ARM versions. The M1 Mac has two networks with two separate IP's assigned by our router under DHCP/NAT - however, each address is FIXED to the MAC address for each network (one for Ethernet and the other for WiFi).
    The final configuration I need is one where both VM's are seen as separate physical boxes on our corporate Intranet and doesn't require setting up port-forwarding or double-NAT'ing.
    The Ubuntu VM will be used as a web host and the Windows VM will be used as an internal (Intranet not Internet) corporate only host.

    The Parallels app network config panel only allows 'Shared' or 'Host-Only' and offers an ability to enable DHCP or not.
    The Ubuntu and Windows VM's offer those two type PLUS bridged mode.

    How do I set-up the Parallels app config for this type of network and how should I set each VM's network config? I've tried leaving the Parallels config on Shared both with and without DHCP and setting the Ubuntu VM to bridge to the ethernet network and the Windows VM to bridge to the WiFi, but when doing that neither VM can see any network at all...

    Thanks in advance!
