Can not Connect to the Internet (did not detect a properly installed network adapter)

Hi , I just installed parallels and Windows 7 and I am getting the following messege when I try to go online:

Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter.


I am on an an iMac, running the latest version of Snow Leopard, with 4Gb of Ram and 1TB of memory.

Please help me and please keep in mind that while I know Mac OS inside and out, I do not know windows all that well, so please be as specific and clear as you can, and spell out all the steps even the little ones.

Thanks.

Does your virtual machine configuration include a Network Adapter?

Quit the virtual machine, then goto Virtual Machine menu -> Configure... menu item -> Hardware tab. If you don't see any Network Adapters in the list of Hardware, add one by clicking the + button and selecting Network Adapter.

You have 3 types of networking to choose from. Look for "Networking in a Virtual Machine" in the Parallels Desktop Help for more information.

 

I’m sorry for the troubles you’re having. To solve the problem as quickly as possible I recommend submitting a support ticket with the Parallels team http://www.parallels.com/support/
