VM network setup - Parallels D12 for Mac

Hi all, I recently purchased v12 for Mac and am running a win 7 ult vm, but am having dramas getting the network configured correctly for my needs. Hoping someone can help?
I have a Macbook Pro with touchbar and 4 x USB-C ports and a simple Wi-Fi network at the office. I can configure the settings to share and get my VM online ok. I also have a Belkin USB-C to Ethernet adaptor which works ok also.
I use my VM only because some of the software I use for work will only run on windows, and the equipment I use is shipped with a 192.168.1.2 address from the factory. DHCP is not an option for the VM or the equipment, it must be all manual.
I need to set up my Windows VM to use the Belkin USB-C adaptor to configure and run the equipment, and have connectivity for the VM to the internet via Wi-Fi. I have managed some weeks ago to configure a similar setup with the Belkin adaptor connecting my VM to the equipment and the host OS connected to the WAN via Wi-Fi (phone hotspot), it even supported a team viewer session across the host and VM, but I cant replicate the settings for some reason.
I have read numerous posts and docs, and the user manual, and I have a reasonable understanding of networks etc, but am still having trouble. Can anyone help please?
Thanks in advance

 

So you need to configure virtual machine network adapter to use bridge mode on USB-C adapter, right? If you've done this what exact issues do you have?
