Help : No internet connection unless I disable Kerio Firewall

Any ideas what may be causing this? I cant get a interent connection unless I disable my Kerio firewall on the primary machine.

 

Your firewall may have not been configured for the virtual network card so it's dropping all of it's packages.

 

Any ideas how to do this?

Under "Trusted Area" in Kerio, it list the Parelles Host-Guest Virtual NIC.

The IP address listed under the Parallels Host-Guest Virtual NIC is 10.37.129.0. Does this sound right?

 

I'm not familiar with that firewall as I use an external HW firewall (much better IMHO).

Anyway I think the above poster is right. Your IP for your parallels virtual NIC sounds right. But your SW firewall may not be allowing packs from it to get out through your NIC. Depending upon how configurable that FW is you may or may not be able to get around it.

Basically you will need to tell the firewall SW that anything coming from your virtual NIC is ok to get to the outside world and perhaps vice-versa.

The reason I asked if the IP was correct or not was because when i do a IPCONFIG /ALL in the command prompt, I get a different IP address.

 

I'm not positive on this but I get the same basic behavior. My virtual NIC shows 10.27.129.2 in System Prefs but I know my VM in WinXP has a 135.x.x.x address from our company LAN.

I believe what is going on is that the "bridged" internet connection makes use of the 10.27.x.x address to communicate between the virtual NIC and the Mac NIC. What happens inside your VM depends upon how you set it up. In my case with DHCP I get a nice company wide address.

 

If you're using host-only networking you won't be able to access the internet. It's a closed connection via the virtual nic.
Using bridged connection doesn't touch the virtual nic, it goes straight to the hardware. The problem is probably that your firewall doesn't like having two IP addresses assigned to the same network card, that's why you can't access internet.

 

When you say "System Prefs", where is this located? From the Parallels client or thru the Guest machine?
