Bonjour, I have lost internet connections running Firefox in Windows XP With Parallels built 5582. All that started when Windows seemed to have got a virus - anyway, Windows Startup button sitting in top left corner of the screen ..., with application shortcut icons going flashing some time to time. Anyway in Mac OS X Leopard Preferences, for a while I had put "Off" Built-in Ethernet, Parallels Host-Guest, and Parallels NAT - all red -, and then back again to green connected : with internet connections in the Mac. By this time I installed an antivirus - Spyware Doctor with Antivirus -, I could ran it several times and got the, usual in Windows, antivirus library : that meant I had the internet connection, but no more internet connection now. In Mac, Network Preferences/Parallels Host-Guest and Parallels NAT are all DHCP with "currently active" IP addresses set. In Parallels Preferences, Network Adapter is connected (Shared networking), and I had found Port forwarding infos empty. Many thanks for your help. fr6
In Terminal from Applications/Utilities run sudo killall -HUP pvsnatd then ifconfig -a what is output?
John - merci beaucoup.

From Mac OS side everything is OK , Could you please perform Start -run -type cmd and ipconfig /all Also is there any antivirus on Windows, this may prevent connection (and firewalls like Zone Alarm)
John, Sorry for the delay - we have not the same Sun. I can't run "Start -run -type" ( Windows XP 5.1.26 does not recognize ). Anyway, inspired by a similar discussion in the forum ( Still - <something like "no internet connection"> ), in Parallels VM configuration I removed, then added Network adapter ..., and internet connection was there ! I had also removed the antivirus : but I need one - anyway. Do you mean that as long as an antivirus will be installed there will not the the possibility to have an internet connection ? For my usage of Windows in Parallels, I don't need so much an internet connection in Windows as long as I have an internet connection on the Mac, so viruses are less the case, but should I want this internet connection in Windows, how should I do without an antivirus ? Thanks very much for the help you provide, fr6
John, ipconfig /all => : Nom de l'hôte . . . . . . . . . . : WINLSD Suffixe DNS principal . . . . . . : Type de noud . . . . . . . . . . : Inconnu Routage IP activé . . . . . . . . : Non Proxy WINS activé . . . . . . . . : Non Carte Ethernet Connexion au réseau local: Suffixe DNS propre à la connexion : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Parallels Network Adapter Adresse physique . . . . . . . . .: 00-1C-42-A7-D6-5B DHCP activé. . . . . . . . . . . : Oui Configuration automatique activée . . . . : Oui Adresse IP. . . . . . . . .*. . . : 10.211.55.6 Masque de sous-réseau . . .*. . . : 255.255.255.0 Passerelle par défaut . . .*. . . : 10.211.55.1 Serveur DHCP. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.211.55.1 Serveurs DNS . . . . . . . . . . : 10.211.55.1 Bail obtenu . . . . . . . .*. . . : dimanche 24 août 2008 16:08:16 Bail expirant . . . . . . .*. . . : dimanche 31 août 2008 16:08:16 But I don't know how/where to launch this command "Start -select Run -type" ( same window as above or "Run" window ? Anyway not recognized in both ).
Everything is correct, so I suppose only antivirus or Firewall can prevent connection Norton, Kaspersky, Zone Alarm
John, OK, "it" works, it works because I removed every antiviruses I had tentatively installed, and as soon as I install an antivirus I have no longer any internet connection. Then I know what to do : remove it, Edit Parallels VM configuration where I remove the Network adapter, quit and relaunch Parallels and Add the Network Adapter. Then got internet connection. But how can I live in Windows without an antivirus ? Merci, fr6
