Every since I have started using the Beta 1862 build my networking (only in the vm) sometimes quits on me after I wake my MacBook Pro up from sleep. I try restarting the vm (WinXP Pro) and also restarting Parallels but nothing works until I restart my actual laptop. Networking will be working fine inside OS X, but when I go to start the vm it hangs during Windows bootup at "Preparing Network Connections" and then eventually goes to the login screen. Once I login though I am not getting any network activity (in the vm). Has anyone else had this problem with the new Beta? It doesn't happen everytime I wake the laptop, but it has happened about 5 times so far. I never had any problems with previous versions of Parallels. I know its beta and I'm not complaining or anything, just curious if anyone else is having the same problem. Thanks!
Yes, I believe that would describe the issues I'm having as well, except sometimes if I keep trying, it comes back. Just this morning it happened, but I Disconnected Networking, //s CRASHED, but when I relaunched, it worked fine. Very quirky.
Similar problem here on my Macbook - networking will occasionally die after sleep. For me it's happened on both Win2k and XP, and using both Bridged Ethernet and Host-Only networking modes. Seems to happen randomly - sometimes it'll pick up a network connection just fine after sleep, other times nothing short of waiting a bit and restarting Parallels can get networking to do anything. I'm using the beta version as well - did this happen with the last official release?
Ok, What i did a long time ago when i first started using parallels, is i said to myself, "self I said: ;-) If you have to OS's via'ng for sleep mode this can't be good. So i went into XP and turned off all sleep/saver settings. I have had no problems since Just my .95 cents worth (was 2 cents but taxes =)
Yes, that is the exact same thing that is happening to me. I would say it is like 1 out of 5 times the network doesn't come back properly. I never had this happen with any version prior to this beta (1862) and I have been using this daily since about April. Again I realize this is a beta, but I would just be curious to know if it is a known bug or not. That way it doesn't happen when the final version comes out. Feedback from the Parallels team would be great!! ::hint:: ::hint::
That really is a great suggestion but 2 things. First this has never happened before this beta build (1862). Second if it was Windows going to sleep causing this problem you would think once I completely restart Windows and Parallels it would fix the problem but it doesn't. I have to completely restart my physical laptop. So something is getting messed up within OS X. Again though great suggestion. I'll try it (never know) and post back my results.
I see no sleep settings in my XP vm... :/ I went under CONTROL PANEL --> POWER. Both the monitor and hard disks were already set to never turn off. Hibernation was not enabled. I didn't find anything for sleep though. Maybe this is because Parallels doesn't support ACPI yet? Just a guess. What settings exactly did you change? Thanks!
I have upgraded to build 1884 and this problem still exists. I hope they get this bug worked out before the final release.
Hey sorry for not keeping up with this thread. Here are my settings, looks like you may have touched on theses. I agree, it should work, due to may laptop users that need to go quick. Good luck, i will be watching and will help prod parallels to look into this. Mac Side ========= Sleep ------ Energy Saver Computer to Sleep: about 3 hours Display to sleep: 1 hour [x] put the hard disk(s) to sleep Option ------ [x] Wake for Eternet network admin [x] allow power button to sleep the computer [ ] restart auto after power failure Windows Side ============ 1. Right click on desktop 2. click on properties 3. click on screen saver tab Screen Saver: none power schemes ------ Home/Office Turn off monitor: Never Turn off hard disks: Never Advanced ---------- [] Always show icon on taskbar, (unchecked) Hibernate --------- [] Enable hibernation (unchecked) APM ------- [] Enable Advanced Power Management support (unchecked) UPS ------- I have no UPS so the service is currently stopped
Those are the same settings I have in Windows. Thanks for the reply! Can't wait to get the non-beta version to see if this is fixed.
