Since upgrading to Parallels Desktop 17 (and/or moving to macOS 11 and now 12), my host Mac does not connect to the Parallels shared and host-only networks. In older versions of Parallels, there was a checkbox in the Preferences > Network settings to indicate you want to host Mac to connect to these networks. That setting is not present on Parallels 17.
Guest machines are assigned the appropriate IP addresses for the network adaptor selected. But when using shared networking or host-only networking, I need to be able to connect back to the host via IP address (e.g, to a Web server running on the host Mac), especially when I am in a location where I don't have internet access.
How do I get the Mac to get connected to the Parallels provided networks?
Parallels version: 17.1.1 (51537)
Mac: MacBook Pro (2019) with Intel chip; running macOS 12.1 (Monterey)
The shared network and host-only network appear to be bound to virtual NICs on the Mac:
Code:
% prlsrvctl net list
Network ID Type Bound To
Shared shared vnic0
NAT server:
Host-Only host-only vnic1
en5 (en5) bridged en5
Wi-Fi (en0) bridged en0
awdl0 (awdl0) bridged awdl0
llw0 (llw0) bridged awdl0
USB 10/100/1000~ bridged en9
vnic0 (vnic0) bridged vnic0
vnic1 (vnic1) bridged vnic1
Default bridged FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
But I don't get IP addresses assigned to the Mac:
Code:
% ifconfig
...
vnic0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
ether 00:1c:42:00:00:08
media: autoselect
status: active
vnic1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
ether 00:1c:42:00:00:09
media: autoselect
status: active
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
