yesterday i installed parallels rc2 on my macbook in order to use x86 linux. it works good, but since then i cannot use my ethernet card on the macbook. dhcp only has a self assigned ip adress which fits neither the number of my subnet nor the right subnet mask. i manually assigned myself an ip adress within the subnet, but still can`t ping other computers in the net. i changed around with the different options in the network interface but didn`t have any success. parallels installed a "parallels host-guest adapter" in addition to my ethernet card and my airport card. i`m almost sure that this is the reason for the failure of my ethernet card, but i have no more ideas how to make it work again. does anyone have an idea what to do? is there a tool which sets the network adjustments back to default? thanks for the help in advance, mike
Well as a quick fix you should be able to go to Network in your OSX system preferences, choose "Network Port Configurations" from the show pulldown button, and turn off the Parallel's Host-Guest Adapter. Also you might try using Host-Only networking instead of bridged networking. You can still share the network from your Macbook Pro. See this post: http://forum.parallels.com/thread2556.html John
ok, i shifted it to host networking. but now my ethernet adapter ist completely gone. it is activated in the network preferences, but not available in the network preferneces. ifconfig says the following lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 gif0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280 stf0: flags=0<> mtu 1280 en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:16:cb:8f:85:bc media: autoselect status: inactive supported media: autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,flow-control> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 100baseTX <full-duplex,flow-control> 1000baseT <full-duplex> 1000baseT <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control> none en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::216:cbff:feba:1b4d%en1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet 192.168.0.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:16:cb:ba:1b:4d media: autoselect status: active supported media: autoselect wlt1: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1500 fw0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 494 lladdr 00:16:cb:ff:fe:d7:af:ec media: autoselect <full-duplex> status: inactive supported media: autoselect <full-duplex>
