    Parallels only recognizes the internet with the ethernet cable plugged in. I have tried using the run command on the mac side suggested in other threads and my MacBook says the command is not recognized. When I look at my control panel (I am running Windows7) my parallel computer only recognizes a broadband PPPoE network. How can I get Parallels to recognize my Mac airport?

    Cheers,

    using parallels desktop 5 won't recognize airport extreme using Windows 7

    I am having the same issue...have tried suggestions on various forums but so far nothing has worked- uninstall reinstall parallels tools, run sudokill (cannot remember exact cmd right now). I was operating through bootcamp previously using windows XP and connecting to the internet without a problem.

    As suggested on another parallels forum (written in 2007) I ran ipconfig on the mac side and then config /all on the windows side and here are the results...
    Ifconfig from Mac

    using parallels desktop 5 won't recognize airport extreme using Windows 7

    I am still not able to connect to the internet through windows 7...
    I found the post that suggested this cmd--please on Mac side browse to 'Applications' -> 'Utilities' and open 'Terminal'. Run the following command there:sudo killall -hup pvsnatd--which I tried but was not successful.
    If anyone can assist with additional suggestions it is appreciated.
