    Hi,
    I am trying to connect to an ip camera directly for set up purposes. I am using Parallels Desktop for Mac Version 12.2.1. The camera default ip scheme is 192.168.1.1 I run windows 10 with parallels. My network settings in parallels is Bridged>Default Adapter. I've started out connected to my wifi and I open parallels and the network connects to the LAN easily through the wifi on the Mac side. Then I open System Preferences on the mac side and Manually set up my Thunderbolt Ethernet Network ip to 192.168.1.2 I then take an ethernet cable and connect from the Thunderbolt adapter through a POE injector and into the camera. Soon as I change my ip on the Thunderbolt Ethernet Network I get an Yellow Caution symbol on the lower right corner for the network. I usually turn off the wifi then to eliminate that as a possible problem. The camera does connect to the Mac, I am able to ping it without a problem. However it will not "Bridge" the network to the Windows 10 side, for me to connect to the camera and make changes on the windows side. If anyone has any ideas on how to make this work. I'd be grateful for your help.

    I'm not sure that I correctly understood all the details, but it seems that you have bridged the VM to WiFi and then disabled the WiFi. Definitely network inside VM will not work.
    Have you tried Shared Networking? There are many chances that it will work fine with this usecase
