    Same problem but on Vista

    I am having the same problem but with Vista as the host OS. It won't recognize the network card in the iMac.

    I have both Airport and Ethernet. I went ahead and disabled Airport. And I enabled host-only in Parallels. I also made sure to edit the Mac Sharing options to allow the sharing of the Internet connection from the Ethernet to the En2.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks

    Enable Shared Networking and install Network driver in Vista
    as bellow
    1. Connect Parallels Tools CD image (vmtools.iso) to VM. You can find

    Parallels Tools CD image at the /Library/Parallels/Tools folder.



    2. In the Windows Vista Start menu, go to Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager and select

    Network Adapters -> Parallels Network Adapter in the left panel. Double click it.

    3. Choose Driver -> Update Driver... -> Browse for driver software on your computer. Point the path to your CD.

    4. When Windows asks you what driver to use, you should point to:

    Drivers/Network/RTL8029/Win2000.XP.ME.2003 on your virtual CD-ROM.
