Network Errors after upgrade to build 5600

After upgrading to 5600, Shared Networking was broken on my Parallels install. Have a WinXP virtual machine where under build 5584 would obtain an IP from my DHCP server. After install of 5600, my virtual machine instead 'takes over' the IP of the host MacBook Pro, leading to lots of nasty popups from OSX telling me that the mac address of my Winxp Parallels virtual machine now has the IP address of the host OSX. If I shutdown my WinXP system, OSX gets it back. Went back to build 5584 and everything is OK again with Shared Networking working fine with it's own IP address. Just to see, upgraded again to 5600 and it broke again. Went back to 5584 and it's OK. Would appear to be an issue with 5600.

Ideas?

Thanks,
Chuck

Received an e-mail on the problem ticket I opened telling me that a "New Build 5600" is in QA and should be out in a couple of weeks that should resolve this. They said to downgrade to 5584 or use Bridged Networking until then. The QA part is a little ironic.....

The new build 5600 resolves this issue. The download page still says build 5600, May 9, 2006, but once you download and install it will say build 5600, May 20, 2008.

Not revving the build version is bad juju and adds confusion (to customers and technical support) while masking the fact that something was actually wrong.

Nothing

I've not been able to connect, having tried all the recommendations I've seen on the forums. It still can't find a network. I have the newest 5600 build (May 20). My connection before 5600 was always buggy, going in and out, but after 5600 absolutely nothing.

My Mac side is fine, and can connect. In my Mac Network panel I can see both a Parallels Guest Host and Parallels NAT connections and both are connected.

HELP!!??!!

Do I uninstall Parallels and try again? Will I lose my Vista Premium and have to reinstall it if I uninstall? How do I uninstall and reinstall?

Update - It was Zone Alarm that was the culprit. I uninstalled and reinstalled and all is well.

5600 Build problems

I just want to go back to the 5584 version and give up on the new one. Why can't I just delete the new build and re-install the old one using the original install disk? If not, where do I get the reinstaller? What is "Torrents?"

John, I don't understand. Am I to uninstall my original Parallels (Not the 5600 update) and then re-load it from tha original disk? What good does that do? I thought we are trying to upgrade to build 5600?

Hello
I have now downloaded and installed the new 5600 build and it runs ok on leopard 10.5.3
The only problem is that the old desktop icons pointing to vms do not work. Snapshot restores have not been tested but seems to work?
