Hi, after a month of flawless operation I recently ran into new trouble. Here's the story, as far as I can recall: I had to change mac network settings to Wireless. Starting the VM it hung while logging in to my XP account. After half an hour I chose to force quit Parallels. Starting XP in Boot Camp I had to endure 45 minutes of disk repair. In BC I enabled wireless and all went well. From this point on, Boot Camp runs without any visible problems. I can succesfully launch XP using Parallels, and I can access localhost. However, from this point on I have no network connection from Parallels and this is my problem! So far I've tried: - reinstalling parallels tools - restoring PD network defaults which didn't make any difference. I can't find any clues in the forums, so I'm short of new ideas... Set up: MBP4,1 Mac OS X 10.5.5 PD 4.0.3540 Shared networking Win XP SP3 Info from Boot Camp: Network Connections: http://forum.parallels.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2222&stc=1&d=1229345730 ipconfig: http://forum.parallels.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2221&stc=1&d=1229345730 Info from PD4: Network Connections: http://forum.parallels.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2223&stc=1&d=1229345730 ipconfig: http://forum.parallels.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2224&stc=1&d=1229345730 ifconfig: http://forum.parallels.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2225&stc=1&d=1229345730 I don't quite remember what it looked like a week ago, but I think there are some things missing now... I quite at loss here, all ideas are greatly appreciated! Best / Per
Stop Virtual machine remove Network Adapter - Ok, and it back, switch to shared Networking and check, if you have antivirus try to uninstall it
Thanks John! I need some more details here... - remove network adapter: from where? - should I then reinstall it? From where? - shared networking: I'm already using it... - antivirus: yes, kaspersky, do I need to uninstall it? Best / Per
Please start with uninstalling Kaspersky Network adapter can be /added/removed from Configure - Network Adapter 1 -click - But start with uninstalling kaspersky
Hi John, actually just uninstalling Kaspersky did the trick: all works. The uninstaller hung, of course, and I chose to force quit after 20 minutes of no activity. While waiting I googled around a bit and it seems a lot of people have had problems with KIS. So now I know: no more Kaspersky. Anyway, all seems fine now, so I'm once again a happy camper Thanks for the assistance, much appreciated! Best / Per
