parallels on mandriva 2007

hi. Just installed parallels and i'm trying to install windows xp but the install stops at "installing network".. that sucks any help ??

update.. it installs if i remove network from the virtual machine. Why ???

It's probably getting stucked trying to get a DHCP offer. If you're directly connected, it's probably that your ISP allows only 1 IP for example.
Until they implement NAT, you'll have to get a router for example. If that's the problem of course... it could always be a sour driver.

Womandriva(lets not be affraid to promote equality here) 2007 is very new, so it is highly likely that something has changed since Mandriva 2006 that puts a spanner in the works for Parallels.

found fix, you have to configure vnic0 and start it at boot, now it works.
