    SOLVED: Stuck on APIPA Address - No Internet

    Installed OS X Lion, reinstalled Parallels 6 (Build 6.0.12094), and running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit SP1.

    I cannot get an internet connection, and checking the IP address it's always an APIPA address (169.254...), so not getting a DHCP address.

    I've tried uninstalling the network driver and reinstalling, uninstalled Parallel Tools and reinstalled that, reset the Winsock, checked Services and the DHCP service is running and restarted it anyway just incase. Also tried the built in troubleshooting tools, but they're no help.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Edit: Solved. Worked out the issue I was having. I had enabled DHCP reservation on my Linksys router, so had IP addresses being set to specific MAC addresses. Found the option in Virtual Machines> Configure> Hardware and generated a new MAC address then set that in the DHCP reservation to a different IP OS X and it's working fine now.
