    I run Windows 7 in Parallels Desktop Enterprise v12 on a Macbook Pro. In paralells, I have the network set up as a Bridged (Default) setting.

    If I am connected to the my work network via an ethernet connection, i am able to access both the local network drives and internet on the Mac and parallel's install of Win7 Enterprise.

    If connect to my work WiFi connection on the Mac (with Win7/parallels closed) i am able to access both the local network drives and the internet on the Mac without any issues.

    However, once i start Win7 (via parallels) the Mac disconnects me from the local network and i am unable to load up any internet websites. Despite being locked out on the Mac side, the interesting thing is that the Win7 OS is still able to access the local network and internet websites.

    Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.
