Network Initialization Failed

sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist && sudo killall -9 configd
Yup, that did it for me too, after upgrading to Big Sur dev beta 8 (build 20A5374i).

I didn't need to recreate my VM or even restart it -- I started it back up from a suspended state and the bridged networking came up without missing a beat.
 
Same issue!
Hello, please share with us your Parallels Desktop and macOS version.

Did you try to run the following command in Terminal while Parallels Desktop was not started:
sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist && sudo killall -9 configd
 
I ran the command and deleted my VM and created a new one. The VM had network access but my MacBookPro didn't (I couldn't get to any websites or network shares). As soon as I shut down the VM my MacBookPro was back to normal. I tried setting the VM to both shared and bridged network mode and it made no difference.

  • macOS 11.0 Beta (20A5374i) [Big Sur]
  • Parallels 16.0.1 (48919)
  • Windows 10 Pro ISO
Ran the following command:
sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist && sudo killall -9 configd

Still getting the network error.
 
I also ran this command, but the error remained:
sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist && sudo killall -9 configd

Hi, I have upgraded to big sur beta 8, ran that command above, then recreated my vm and it works
Actually I missed a step in this. What I had to do was go into parallels preferences and restore defaults int he networking part. It seemed to keep creating new vnet adapters each time i fired up a vm. putting it back to defaults, then running that command, i notice it used the 2 default adapters, shared and host only, and then it works

Nice to know that you were able to sort out the issue. Please get back to us for any further queries.
 
Hi!!
I have found the solution. I know that if you open parallells in root session it works but I want to open parallells with my user session.

The solution?

sudo -b / Applications / Parallels \ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_client_app

Try it and tell me.
