    I use verizon fios at home. Its always on. I have a linksys router using dhcp. What type of networking do I set up. I have tried both bridged using eth0 and shared. I can't get internet access from my windows VM.

    how do i set up my networking inside of windows to work with this?

    If you are using Verizon Wireless modem, try following.
    Setup network for VM host only, in System Preferences Network- Share internet connection from Verizon modem to Parallels Host-Guest adapter.
    Please not some models just shutdown Parallels interfaces.

    if it is still not work, please perform in Terminal following command
    ifconfig -a
    sudo killall -HUP pvsnatd
    last command can help, of driver from Verizon not one which shutdown interface

    i am not using wireless. Let me give more details. I have a static IP address at work and I can connect to the internet from windows VM using a bridged connection.

    At home I have DHCP. I am not using wireless. I can connect to the internet using DHCP and static IP with my Macintosh. I have two locations mapped in my Mac networking. When I get home I switch to DHCP.

    I can connect to the internet from a static IP, but not from a DHCP connection. I tried making a shared connection, host only, and bridhge and I do not get a connection from my windows VM. I cannot do ipconfig /renew. Windows does not see an internet connection.

    When I do an ipconfig /renew I get

    Windows IP Configuration

    The operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for
    this operation.

    I do not see a connection to the internet.

    do I have to setup my windows network connection differently? I have internet access from my Mac, but not from my windows VM.
