Networking & VM

Hunter
I have a Win XP and a Vista VM. In both of them when I first start up I have no internet connection. I have to go to Devices-->Network Adapters and choose en1 Airport before it will work. There is also a Default Network adapter which does not seem to do anything. I have also tried selecting Host Only or Shared from this menu but that seems to deselect the en1 and I loose connection. Any help/explanation would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Brad
 
Please try following:
To enable network support in Windows Vista you should install driver
for network card inside Vista. To do this you should go through next steps:

1. Connect Parallels Tools CD image (vmtools.iso) to VM. You can find
Parallels Tools CD image at /Library/Parallels/Tools folder.

2. In Windows Vista device manager you should find Realtek device and
update its driver. When Windows asks you about what driver to use,
you should point to Drivers/Network/RTL8029/Win2000.XP.ME.2003 on
your virtual CD-ROM
