    I have 2 virtual machines that are both configured to use bridged networking. They both have different IP addresses.

    Starting the first VM and the network works fine, start the second VM and the networking in the first VM stops working and in Parallels tools, the Network Driver is marked as disabled.
    Enabling the network, causes Parallels to install the driver for the network card into the VM again and the network starts working... at the expense of networking in the second VM, which suddenly stops working and in Parallels Tools, is marked as Disabled.

    Essentially, this means I cant have 2 VMs running at the same time, which was the point of installing Parallels in the first place, as it works fine in the same setup on the OSX version.

    Anyone got any suggestions ?

    Thanks in advance.
