Bridge Networking/Port Forwarding on Parallels 14

Hello, I'm a first time user of Parallels and this forum.

I purchased Parallels 14 Home edition. I was unaware the "Pro" version allows port forwarding, not the Home edition. I thought I could get around this by setting the network to bridge mode then directing the router to the new IP address, but it's not working.

Does anyone have an any ideas (other than having to buy a second license)?

Thanks.

Problem resolved. I forgot about the Windows Firewall. Once I allowed the app through it, everything worked out.

Hello Arun, could you please help me with the same issue? I have a host Macbook Pro and Windows in Parallels VM. I'd like to access 9000 port on my MacBook without buying Pro license.

I tried to use Bridge mode, disabling Windows Defender - didn't help.

 

Hello, did you check this?

 

I didn't but this gist helped: https://gist.github.com/ernsheong/23c00e65219b10db7bc072772ea509d4
Can't say this is obvious behavior.
