    Hi Everyone.

    I am using a MBP with Leopard and have been able to connect Parallels to the internet before. Recently I set up port forwarding for my bittorrent client and now when I launch parallels it gives me the following error:

    Parallels detected that Mac OSX Internet Sharing to Parallels NAT (en3) is active. This setting interferes with Parallels Shared Networking.Please open Apple menu System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet, stop Internet Sharing and uncheck Ethernet Adaptor (en3) in To computers using list

    I am not sure what got messed up since I set up port forwarding but this is really frustrating and confusing. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Gina.

    en3 is Parallels Host-Guest adapter, but you are using Shared Networking in VM, as I can understand, just uncheck as requested in error

    Hmm. I never had Internet Sharing checked in the first place. To uncheck en3, you actually have to uncheck internet sharing all together. I have tried both ways, en3 unchecked and internet sharing on and en3 unchecked with internet sharing off and neither can get the VM online.

    Any other suggestions???

    Thank you!

    on Mac
    open Terminal from Applications/Utilities
    ifconfig -a

    on Windows
    in command console
    ipconfig /all

    Start Parallels Desktop holding COmmand key - COnfiguration Editor- Network Adapter 1- what are settings for Shared, Bridged etc.?

    This is not related to router
    It is winsock cirruption

    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

    It is not correct IP for shared networking, make sure that IP address is set obtain by DHCP in Windows NIC properties
