I'm running Parallels 9.0.24172 on Mountain Lion. My network adapter is set up as "Shared." I have a network monitoring application (The Dude) running 24/7 on a Windows 7 VM. Periodically (once or twice a week), the Parallels network connection just flat goes down for 5-10 minutes. During this time, the OS X network connection continues to work just fine, so we know it isn't really a network problem. After the 5-10 minute period, the connection magically re-establishes itself, at which point I am inundated by hundreds of emails informing me one by one that every subscriber on my network has gone down, and then has come back up (none of which is true, of course). Today, I was lucky enough to be sitting in front of the server when it went catatonic. I opened up the network device and found that it had a proper IP address, but was listed as "no network connectivity." Disabling and enabling the network device didn't help. I believe once upon a time I tried to snap Parallels out of it by changing from shared to bridged, and it may have worked, but I don't recall for sure. In any event, since this is an unmanned server machine, the question of how to break it out of its fugue is much less important than the question of how to keep it from occurring in the first place. I am going to work my way down the checklist in this other thread to see if anything helps, but since the problem occurs only once or twice a week, it's going to take me a while to determine whether each step either fixed the issue or didn't. Meanwhile, if anyone else has any more active debugging techniques to suggest, I'd appreciate them.
Hi macsrwe, Please try to change the Network Settings from Shared Mode to Bridged Mode; Go to Configure > Hardware > Network1 > Type 'Shared' to 'Default Adapter' Thanks, Manoj
