No wireless network in Vista ....

[rvhooij]

Hello,

I installed 2 setups in Parallels. One with Xp and one with Vista.
The vista installed version cannot find any wireless networks.
The XP version does find my wireless network automatically.

Can anyone help me out?
Settings are the same.

Hello Richard,

To enable network support in Windows Vista, you should install a driver for the network card inside Vista. To do this, you should go through the following steps:

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

2. In the Windows Vista Start menu, go to Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager and select Network Adapters -> Parallels Network Adapter in the left panel. Double click it.

3. Choose Driver -> Update Driver... -> Browse for driver software on your computer. Point the path to your CD.

4. When Windows asks you what driver to use, you should point to:
Drivers/Network/RTL8029/Win2000.XP.ME.2003 on your virtual CD-ROM.
