It used to work without issues, but now windows 11 VM has no internet access. If I do ipconfig /all I get:

Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

I have no default gateway and a self assigned IP.

I spoke to parallels support via chat, but they could not find anything.

In parallels desktop maangment app, the hardware networking is setup to the default "shared network". I also tried changing it to "bridged network default adapapter" but this didnt help
I also reinstalled parallels tools and rebooted.

Any other ideas?

I ran the windows network diagnostics once, and it said networking was not configured correctly, and fixed it and internet worked until I next rebooted the VM. Now if I run that same troubleshooter, it just says "An error occured whilst running the troubleshooter"
