Description: I've encountered several network connectivity issues when creating a new MacOS 15 virtual machine in Parallels Desktop: Shared Network Problems The MacOS 15 VM is assigned an IP address in the 192.168.64.xx range and cannot use shared networking In contrast, Windows VMs (with IP addresses in the 10.211.xxx range) work perfectly fine under the same conditions VPN Compatibility Issue When VPN is enabled on the host machine, the MacOS 15 VM completely loses network connectivity Windows VMs maintain normal network access even with host VPN enabled Environment: Virtualization Software: Parallels Desktop (PD 20 For Mac Pro Edition) Virtual Machines: MacOS 15.2, Windows 11 Host System: (MacOS15.2) Confirmed Behavior: Issues only occur with MacOS 15 VM Different IP subnets are assigned to different OS VMs VPN has a significant impact on MacOS VM network connectivity Questions: Has anyone else experienced similar issues? Are there any known solutions or workarounds? Has this been acknowledged as a known issue by Parallels?
I have a similar problem, but the IP address that DHCP assigns is from the 169.254.x.x range. Manual IP assignment (10.211.x.x) doesn't solve the problem. The version of macOS guest VM is the same as the host's one: 15.2 (Sequoia)
I can confirm this as well. Installing the guestOS macOS 15.2.0 dies if the VPN is turned on. GuestOS will terminate if you try to boot it from Parallels Control Center with the VPN turned on.
I am having same issue. Currently on macOS 15.2 host OS and macOS 12.6 guest OS on M1 physical MacBook Pro. When guess VM is configured to shared network for 10.211.55.1 subnet, it reverts back to 192.168.64.1 subnet and though sometime, i could access internet, the vpn connection is not shared. This is frustrating issue and Parallels KB instructions to fix it are not working (https://kb.parallels.com/129984/)
