    Hello,

    This is my first post here after installing the Parallels trial version earlier today, using Windows XP on the virtual machine. However, once installed there is no network driver listed and 'Parallels Ethernet' doesn't appear to work. The internet connection is fine from within Mac OS X. Parallels doesn't appear to have installed any ethernet networking drivers. - I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.6

    Any advice?

    Tom

    Hi,

    "Make sure that VM is in Shared Networking mode. If this doesn't help, please click Start -> Run and execute cmd.exe. Type in the appeared window command "ipconfig /all" (make sure that output fits to the window). Then, without closing the window, click Parallels Destkop menu "Help"->"Report a Problem", send a problem report (it is not necessary to provide description) and post here the report ID."

    Most likely you need to install Parallels Tools: http://kb.parallels.com/en/4825
    there should be a message about this at the status bar of the Parallels Desktop window, but it is hard to notice
