It's ironic that I should get a reply regarding this Internet issue. When I fixed it with the eval version, before I bought it, I was able to go to the Network tab in the Parallels Desktop configuration section. This allowed me to turn off IPv6 and everything work through Wi-Fi. However this morning I wake up I fire up my VMs, I have been working for months and discovered I had no Internet access. I thought I would check the solution I perform before but to my horror when I opened up the Parallels Desktop configuration section there was no network tab. to Clarify, I have the standard version I paid out right for it because I figured I did not need any other updates as I'm just a hobbyist. In any case in doing further research I discovered that that tab, Network Tab, does not exist if you do not have the pro or business version. I happen to find other work around such as turning on Internet sharing within the Mac. However that will give me Internet access momentarily and then it would switch back to no Internet in my VM's. I then frustratingly made a call to support. I explained in detail my journey but the engineer/technician seem to be more in wanting to in the car and had me just jump around reinstalling the parallel tools, which I don't use. And then having me reboot my Mac and my VM's repeatedly. He basically gave up and said that he will send a link out to me in which a technician will connect to my Computer to resolve the problem. I did not receive the email and link until about 30 minutes later and then when I clicked it I had to schedule a session which is later this evening 6 PM my time. Simply ridiculous. Anyway from hearing your experience it sounds like the call this evening will probably do no good. I'm perplexed why they would remove the ability for me to configure the network settings in my VM in my own home. I guess I'm mostly offended by the fact that they try to force you into the subscription, anyway hopefully I'll get some resolve. Yes it works OK when connected directly to the Internet but when using Wi-Fi this is where it starts to choke, again. The whole reason for having a laptop is portability, anyway I digress..
I understand the challenges that we will have since were early adopters using the Apple with the M one, but I happen to love this machine. So I expect some hiccups now and then but when I resolve the problem early on before I purchase the product, I didn't expect it to go belly up and then not able to fix it again because they decide to remove a feature. I've been running a Windows network for a long is that crew member at home and I never had issues using Microsoft VM software. Especially when it comes to network access. Parallels has made it so difficult, anyway I will continue to find a solution
. thank you.. but may be a subscription will future proof this
