    Hello everyone ! ;)
    Im new to the parallels community and a happy parallels user for the time being.:)
    well i've got a problem.... :mad:
    i have installed windows 7 in a vm and i want to connect to the internet without installing parallels tools.
    since i want to customise this version (with a tool called RT7 lite to include updates or apps) and install it on every pc in my house.
    and my pc's dont need parallels tools for anything :p
    thanks in advance for any replies to my thread.

    In Configure > Hardware > Network > Advanced Settings pick the NIC type you want then in Windows install the corresponding driver (Intel PRO or Realtek should probably be installed automatically, I' 99% sure Windpws comes with drivers to those).

    Because Windows installed the drivers automatically, restart is required to make them work.
