no Internet connectivity on Parallels 19 running macOS 14

For me it does not help. Version 19.2 and I still don't have network

 

Hello Vitalii!
Would you reproduce the issue again and collect a technical report while the issue is being reproduced (click Parallels icon > Help > Send technical data > check "Attach screenshots..." > press Send Report). Once done, kindly send the report's 9-digit ID in your reply to this post.

 

I am also seeing this issue on macOS 14.2.1 (23C71) with Parallels 19.2.

I've tried switching between bridged and shared mode with

prlctl set macOS --device-set net0 --type bridged

I have sent a technical report:
Technical report 445969143 has been sent to Parallels.

 

Hello, I am having the same problem. After updating to macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71), no more internet in Windows.
Parallels Desktop 19 for Mac Business Edition Version 19.2.1 (54832)
The workaround with the NAPT connector seems to work for half an hour. Spent 2 days trying and resetting all network related settings in Mac, Parallels etc.
Report ID 447033241 is generated.
The only way to get internet in Windows, is to change Shared Network to Bridged Network > WiFi. The Windows NIC is receiving an IP in the Wifi range.
Is there any chance this could be fixed?

 

Same issue. Guest OS is Sonoma (14.2.1) running on a Sonoma (14.2) host using 19.2.1.
Report ID: 447565429

 

Same problem. I don't have any internet access as long as Parallels is running, even if the virtual machine is not running. I've had this problem since version 17. The fixes are always temporary and the problem always comes back.

 

A complete wipe / reinstall of Mac Sonoma and Parallels fixed my problem. Probably only reinstalling Parallels should have been enough.

 

I am on a Macbook running Sonoma OS. I followed the instructions suggested earlier in this thread (to update this: <SystemFlags>devices.net.use_naptd_for_macvm=0</SystemFlags> in terminal), and I am still having the same issue.... As soon as I open Parallels 19 (same issue with 18), my internet connection is lost. Once I close the program, my internet connection is restored. I do not have to run the VM for this issue to happen. I also can't send any technical data since I don't have connection with the app open.

 

Still no Internet connection with parallels 19.2.1.

 

The issue is that both the VM and Host attempt to obtain an IP address from DHCP using the same MAC address by default.
Have you tried these settings?

 

Same problem. REALLY FRUSTRATING. Makes Parallels totally useless. I have a business account.
Internet working totally fine on the Mac side. Dead on the Windows side.

Technical report submitted: 453484655
Parallels Version 19.3.0 (54924)
macOS 14.1 (23B74)

Please fix or help.

 

I called support, and the agent said it can be due to an antivirus firewall running or VPN blocking internet but he thought in my case the prior Windows installation was somehow corrupted. He accessed my computer remotely and installed Windows from scratch, and that fixed the internet problem.
Thank you Parallels!

 

This fixed my and another person's issues in the most recent parallels. The latest update caused connectively issues.

 

Maybe this helps someone: I had the very same problems described in this (and other threads) - nothing helped. No shared networking in a Win-11 vm for me. This is especially problematic since using the VPN via MacOS didn't work either. I experienced these problems since upgrading to MacOS 14.4.
I got it back working by switching off DHCP and manually changing the IP address inside the VM to 10.211.55.3, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and dns server to 10.211.55.1. I think the VMs are not able to reach the Parallels DHCP server. Another hint I found was to give defender and parallels full disk access (our Mac is company managed).

Maybe these clues help another user or even Parallels to find a workaround/patch. I am pretty sure that this is not a Parallels problem but rather a MacOS problem. I temporarily switched back to Parallels 18 with no success to verify this.

After a year of on and off with the same problem i found a solution that works every time:

I just plain and simple run the maintenance script of the software OnyX or something that does similar stuff, specifically rebuild _ds.store - after that it restarts your mac and closes all programs!

 

NOTE: VPN sometimes fixes the problem too, I use perfect privacy as VPN and some servers work, some don't...

 

I just went through this and the solution is that you need a Pro version to turn on DHCP under Network. Standard version doesn't have such option under Network

 

I am having this issue on my macbook M1. Internet is not working on my windows 11. Please tell me any new solution for this problem. I am using version 18.0.1. and my macbook is on the latest version which is 15.0.

thank you

 

I have this problem too
