    Hi,
    I use a direct ethernet connection. Under Shared Networking, I can access internet on my Mac, but not with the VM. When I switch to Bridge Networking, VM connects to the internet, but I loose my mac connection. Any idea how to make both Mac and VM connect?

    what version of PD do you use? 3 or 4? what build? what type of network connection do you have: airport or ethernet?
    If you use ethernet, make sure that your VM and Mac do not have same MAC address. In configuration editor of VM what type of connection do you use for Bridged mode? Ethernet or Airport or Default Adapter?

    Info Requested

    Thanks for replying.

    I use PD 4, build 3540. Network connection is Ethernet.
    Mac has ethernet ID: 00:22:41:2a:73:70. VM has physical address: 00-1C-42-DB-4F-F3.

    In configuration editor, when in Shared connection, I cannot access the internet. Only when I switch to Bridge Mode (Default Adapter) can I connect, but then I loose my Mac connection.

    Hope this might help solve the problem.

    It seems that you have so-called "white" or "gray" IP address, which means that you have direct acces to the internet from your Mac without any gateways in between.
    In your choice the best way is to set Shared Networking, and configure IP settings in the folowing way:
    (Start->Control Panel->Network Connections->Local Area Connection->(right-click) Properties->Internet protocol (TCP/IP)->Properties)
    1. "Obtain IP address automatically"
    2. "Use the following DNS server"
    - Set 10.211.55.1 as primary DNS
    - Your ISP's DNS as secondary one and check if the issue still persists.

    If it does, provide usplease with the following output form Mac Terminal and Windows cmd:
    (Mac)
    host -ta www.parallels.com

    (Windows)
    nslookup -type=A www.parallels.com

    Mac
    host -ta
    Usage: host [-aCdlriTwv] [-c class] [-N ndots] [-t type] [-W time]
    [-R number] [-m flag] hostname [server]
    -a is equivalent to -v -t ANY
    -c specifies query class for non-IN data
    -C compares SOA records on authoritative nameservers
    -d is equivalent to -v
    -l lists all hosts in a domain, using AXFR
    -i IP6.INT reverse lookups
    -N changes the number of dots allowed before root lookup is done
    -r disables recursive processing
    -R specifies number of retries for UDP packets
    -s a SERVFAIL response should stop query
    -t specifies the query type
    -T enables TCP/IP mode
    -v enables verbose output
    -w specifies to wait forever for a reply
    -W specifies how long to wait for a reply
    -4 use IPv4 query transport only
    -6 use IPv6 query transport only
    -m set memory debugging flag (trace|record|usage)
