    Hi,

    I moved my old Parallels installation from my older Mac to my new Mac. Now, I don't see any network interfaces in Windows 7. I know I could get rid of this issue by reinstalling Windows 7, but I was hoping someone could help me get my interface card back.

    Any idea?

    Old Mac: MacBook Pro 15" 2007
    New Mac: MacBook Pro 17" Winter 2011

    Thanks,
    Kian

    Hi

    Could you please answer some questions?
    Are Parallels tools installed?
    Is your VM OS type - Windows 7?

    Send problem report on running VM please. (Help->Report a Problem in window mode)

    Thank you

    Yes, Parallels Tools are installed. I'm running Windows 7 x64.

    Please follow the checklist below:
    1. Navigate to Parallels Desktop/Parallels Workstation -> Preferences -> Network, and on that page click "Restore Defaults" button

    2. Stop the Virtual Machine. Open Configuration windows from Virtual Machine menu > Configure.
    - Under Hardware section check that Network Adapter is present in list, If it is missing, click "+" and add Network Adapter

    3. Click Network Adapter 1 in the Virtual Machine Configuration page
    - Verify that Connect is selected
    - Make sure that the correct type of Network is selected - Shared or Bridged
    NOTE: Host-Only Network does not provide Internet access in virtual machine

    4. In Guest OS check that settings for Network Interface are valid.
    - In case of a Shared Network, the IP address should be in range 10.211.55.1 -10.211.55.254
    - In case of a Bridged Network, you need to either setup IP manually, or setup DHCP server in the network.
