This thread was moved from "General Questions". Alicia I was wondering if I could still use internet connection on Mac OS if Paralles is set to use bridged ethernet? Thanks for the reply in advance!
Hello, connection bridging allows you to use Internet from your VM side and it does not influence the "parent" MacOS's connection. So you can still use it on your Mac. Best regards, Alicia.
Then could you please brief me how to set it up? What I did was: 1. going to the network adapter settings 2. checked both "Enabled" and "Connect cable at startup" 3. in Emulation, chose bridged ethernet and default adapter. However, there is still no connection in windows xp in Parallels. My "parent" OS is mac OS 10.4.10 and there is connection. After this, I attempted to connect by creating a dialer for windows xp. when I disconnected MacOS's connection, the dialer in xp worked and there will be internet connection for windows xp. But then I'll lose the connection in MacOS.
Hello, you can check this page for different networking types settings. Did you do everything like written there? Try to ping any WEB-site from Guest OS, or just open any page in your browser to check the connection. Best regards, Alicia.
Yes I have done everything there except the 3rd step that says "Configure network option in your guest operating system" I do not know what need to be configured.
Actually I did my homework and searched across the google and this forum. I need the connection to be bridged ethernet because I need Windows XP to be visible to the network.
Sorry for the trouble, I have downloaded and read the parallels desktop for mac user guide and the knowledge base before even joining the forum. I have read and tried both of the methods you showed me above. What I need is to have a bridged internet connection so that the VM will be visible to the network; not the shared network or using host only. But using the method you provided (which I also found myself before asking) did not work. I'm really sorry for the trouble, I just hope it would work like it should.
Could you please provide me with some information: what type of connection does your Mac originally have? From the Windows start menu, choose Run and type "cmd". Press "Enter" and type "ipconfig /all".Then save the output by making a screenshot or copy/paste it into the reply. On the Mac side launch Applications - >Utilities -> Terminal and execute the following commands and save their output by making a screenshot or copy/pasting it in your reply: * ps axuwww|grep pvsnatd * ps axuwww|grep natd * ifconfig Best regards, Alicia.
I'm using a ethernet connection connected to my built in ethernet port. The internet connection is a wireless connection and uses iBurst technology. I do not use a router, instead, the ethernet cable is connect directly to the signal transmiter terminal which act as the modem. In order to connect to my ISP, I have to use a dialer with username and password. I think it shold be called a PPPoE connection.

Hello, It seems that your Internet Service Provider doesn't allow two machines to be connected under one account or the modem doesn't allow two parallel connections - so, when windows is connected, osx disconnects. You can use a dialer from the mac side and Network sharing. But if you want only Bridged Ethernet, you'll have to call you ISP and ask about the possibility of two parallel connections with two separate IP addresses. Best regards, Alicia.
Good point. I think they frequently have TOS that say one device connected to the modem or such... Restricting the number of devices connected to the internet really has fallen out of style.
