Shared networking not working

Hi,

if I use bridged ethernet with my Bootcamp Vista VM (SP1) everything works fine.

But if I try to use shared networking (because I have an 3G Broadband connection within OSX), my Vista VM
doesn't get an IP adress assigned. Usually it should get something with 10.xxx?

The 2 parallels network adapters in OSX are green.

Any suggestions?

 

Ok, i tried some things and it seems to be a problem of Vista.

I installed a WindowsXP SP2 as a regular VM and Shared Networking is working as it should.

Is this a known issue of Vista and Parallels V3?


EDIT: Also Host-Only Networking doesn't seam to work. Not getting a valid IP address either.

The network adapter is sending packets, but not receiving.

 

What ipconfig /renew returns?

 

DHCP timeout.

 

in Mac OS open Terminal
sudo killall -HUP pvsnatd

 

Still getting a DHCP Timeout.

 

It is bad news, in this modem is from those ones that shuts down our interfaces

 

K, but why is it working with a WindowsXP VM?
Only my Vista Bootcamp VM is not working.

 

Please paste here ifconfig -a from Mac OS Terminal

hm, seems correct.
What is Vista Edition?
And what is Network settings for Vista, (I mean is it Active Director)
Do you have some TCP/IP filtering enabled in Windows?

 

Vista Home Premium German SP1
Network is standard DHCP. No active directory or something else.
No TCP/IP Filters.

 

Do you have antivirus installed?

 

Yes. Kaspersky Antivirus 2009. On both machines. XP and Vista.
XP = working
Vista = not working

I'll try now an installation of vista into a new VM. We'll see if it's working.

 

Ok, let me know the result

 

Hm, it's working well.
I installed the same software as on my bootcamp installation, instead of the bootcamp drivers.
Maybe thats the problem?

 

Try to disable antivirus and check will it get IP address

 

I have already tried that step.
Nothing changed.

 

What software did you install in Vista?

 

Bootcamp Driver 2.1 for Vista
iTunes 7.7
Quicktime
Office 2003
Kaspersky Antivirus 2009
Parallels Tools
Steam
AnyDVD HD
Nero Burning ROM 8
