    The guest os is stuck at acquiring network address. I'm using a trial key for parallels to try this out and so far this doesn't look promising. I've tried everything that has been suggested in the forums and faqs and still i cannot get this to work :( It really upsets me because i don't want to boot out of mac os to use windows :(

    Winsock is corrupted

    PROBLEM:

    When I try to use ipconfig /renew I get: "An error occured while renewing
    interface Local Area Connection : The RPC server is unavailable."

    When I try to use ipconfig /all
    I receive output similar to one bellow:

    DHCP Enabled...: Yes
    Autoconfiguration Enabled...: Yes
    IP Address...: 0.0.0.0
    Subnet Mask...: 0.0.0.0
    Default Gateway....:
    DHCP Server...: 255.255.255.255


    BACKGROUND:

    The problem is caused by Winsock (TCP/IP protocol configuration) corruption

    SOLUTION:

    1. Open command console in Windows as follows:
    click Start - click Run- type in cmd
    2. In command console type in following:
    netsh winsock reset
    3. Restart VM as suggested
