    Hi.

    I'm using MacBook Pro with 10.4.9 and Parallels Build 3186. The only network option I have is Bridged Ethernet. One day, I manually destroyed the two Parallels Network Ports.

    I have already :
    - uninstalled Parallels Desktop
    - shut down
    - destroyed the adapter Ethernet (null) adapter
    - shut down
    - installed Parallels Destop
    - restarted
    - and the adapter Etherne (null) now appears :-(

    Trying :
    francks:~ fsartori$ sudo /Applications/Parallels/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/PvsvnicConfigure
    Password:
    No suitable device found for PVS0.
    No suitable device found for PVS1.
    francks:~ fsartori$

    What can I do now ?

    Best regards.

    Tried the same way with the new build 3188. Same results. Tried to throw away the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration preferences. No chance. Same answer from the terminal. I'm not the only one on the forum with this problem. Do I need to format C: to reinstall Mac OS X + // + WinXP ?

    You're not the only one...

    I'm having the same problem. I've gone through the same steps as you.

    uninstall Parallels using the uninstaller in the DMG file you downloaded. (This will not delete your VM(s) )

    Restart the mac

    Install parallels again

    restart the mac

    start up your VM again and it should be fine.

    Have you tried re-installing Parallels?

    In addition to suggestions already posted here,

    1. Go to Apple menu->System Preferences->Network
    2. Most probably, you're warned that new network interfaces are detected.
    3. Click "Configure".
    4. Click Apply.

    After that, NAT and Host-Only should be back again.

    For those having interfaces available, but still not working properly,
    1. Run Applications->Utilities->Terminal
    2. Issue the "sudo killall -HUP pvsnatd" command.

    I've already tried to unistall/install many times Parallels Desktop.

    For Tim, the two parallels ports appear as "Adaptateur Ethernet ((null))" when Parallels Desktop is installed in the network pane. So something happens when Parallels Desktop is installed but the ports are not at all well defined.
