No Internet

jnb1110 · Aug 2, 2008

I have just installed PWS 2.2 in my Vista based PC so I can use XP for many reasons. The guest XP won't allow me
to access the internet or read the dvd-cd-rom--although the host works just fine for both--any solutions?
I'm new to virtual machine talk so go easy on me please.

You need to check what is network configuration for Network, Shared or Host -Only
perform ipconfig /all in guest and host and put here

No innternet

Thanks for responding, here's the info you need:
The network adapter is set at bridged and the device is set at enabled and and connect at start-up.

Should I perform a ipconfig for each configuration in network adapter?

John@Parallels · Aug 3, 2008

If it is running , perform ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew in Vista and check is it got address different from 169.254.x.x
if yes perform the same in XP

jnb1110 · Aug 4, 2008

As you can see they are different, am I supposed to make them the same and how do I do that?

Ok, let us see as far as I can understand,
As far as I can understand youhave this one adapter connected to Internet,
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : had1.or.comcast.net.
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::18df:36f1:995d:7fb1%8
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 24.21.59.150
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.240.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 24.21.48.1

But in order to connect to internet you need to assign IP in the same range also for Virtual Adapter in Windows XP, i mean in the range of above mentioned adapter, alternatively if you can put it on router and assign some internal IP you need only to specify for Vista and Windows XP the IP in the same rabge and the same gateway

jnb1110 · Aug 5, 2008

Are you saying that these values must be the same in the guest computer? And how do I go about getting them there?

John@Parallels · Aug 5, 2008

No, the IP should be different

jnb1110 · Aug 5, 2008

Ok, so are you saying that the subnet and the gateway should be the same and how do I get them to be the same?

John@Parallels · Aug 6, 2008

I suppose you need some kind of router with switch capabilities,
Assign external Ip to external router interface and 192.168.0.1 to internal,
To VM and Host
.0.2 and 0.3 and gateway 192.168.0.1
and it will work
