Parallels Desktop 4.0 - No Internet Connection - PLEASE HELP !

[jaford14er]

My name is Jason Ford and I would really appreciate some advice.

I just upgraded to Parallels Desktop 4.0 for the Mac after using 3.0 for about a year. All seemed to go well with the upgrade until I tried to open Internet Explorer and Firefox and the browsers told me that I had no internet connection

When I first installed version 3.0, Parallels Desktop automatically linked to the internet connection on my iMac and I was able to immediately start using both IE and Firefox

Now that I have version 4.0 installed ( and cannot revert back ), Parallels Desktop does not seem to be connecting to the internet connection on my iMac.

I would really appreciate your help on this matter as soon as possible, as I need to urgently be able to view my websites in IE and Firefox for cross browser compatibility tests.

I look forward to some assistance

hi jaford14er,
first of all, try switching to Bridged Ethernet (start Parallels Desktop > launch VM > Configuration > Network Adapter).
