Shared Network broken again.

I am on Parallels 20.2.2, Windows 11 VM. Yesterday Shared Network setting was on, and I had non network access. I set it to Bridged Network (default adapter), and it worked.

This morning I tried the tips I got before from Tech Support 8/11/2024:

1. (Assume it is set to Bridged Network)
2. Shut down VM, Quit Parallels Desktop
3. Open Terminal
4. Execute the following commands:

sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
sudo killall -9 configd

1. Restart your Mac and Launch Parallels Desktop.

• 6. Set it to Shared Network (Recommended)

But I still had no network access. So I am back to bridged network. Any ideas, or can this be fixed?

 

I will. Today I tried turning on shared network again, and so far it has been fine. It comes and goes, very strange. Yesterday nothing fixed it - reboots, changes to Bridged and back, Mac reboots, the solution I posted from Tech Support in post #1, nothing. I never lost internet in the host Mac. But today, I change it back, and it's fine now. I'll post here with the report # when it happens again.

 

UPDATE: This morning I switched to the open VM (My Mac was running all night), and the Shared Network connection was broken again - even though Internet was fine on the Mac host. I sent the Technical Data Report.

Today, one day later - it failed again - no Internet on Shared Network. I put it on Bridged until this can be fixed, not happy about the VM being exposed on the network though. I submitted another report, #487902000. Prior one in the last post was 487815773.
