    Hi. Need anserw/help with very important (for me as an IT admin) question. The issue is that I use on Parallels/Win programs as WinBox (Mikrotik routers) , Printer configurator, IP Cam configurator. They USE MAC ADDRESS search to find product that is without IP address, DHCP assigned address or address from different IP CLASS. If there's OSX native program works fine but under Parallels windows doesn't see any device. I suppose it's a MAC ADDRESS PASSTHROUG problem but I'm not sure how to solve it. Thanks in advance for help.

    Thanks for the anserw but this is not what I ment... what You wrote i sobvious for me. The problem is when I connect device (ip camera, mikrotik router, printserver) with unknown or different IP calss of mine. Then using dedicated soft (i.e. WinBox) i can find and login to device via MAC ADDRESS (on real PC or Mac, if it is available it works, bu it doest work via Parallels Desktop). The problem can be solved if I set BRIDGED NETWORK in Parallels but it is a unconvinient solution becaus i can bridge it to ONE network adapter and what is most wrong if I use bridged network virtual PC says I have IP conflict and interent doesnt fork on VM PC :( ... The solution for SHARED network and passthrough MAC ADDRESSE (UPD) would be great.

    Hi,
    for your purpose you need to use Bridge Networking. If you have IP-address conflict, please provide as many details as possible and post it here - I'll try to help.
