Hey MacForums,

So when I'm in parallels and I try to connect to the internet that my macbook pro and home PC are on I can't.

By this I mean there is no way for me to connect due to there not being certain buttons like "Connect to the Internet" when I go under control panel it's not there.


I need help :\


Thanks, Wade

Hi Wade, unless you have set some non-standard settings in Parallels settings, the Windows should connect directly to internet (through Parallels) and you can surf away... You are connected if the Mac is connected.
With the Virtual Machine running, in Parallels Menu goto "Virtual Machine"/"Configure"/"Options Tab"/"Security": uncheck "isolate Mac from Windows" ; then check that in the same "Virtual Machine" /"Hardware Tab" the "Network 1" is checked, and uncheck "send the Host's Mac Address to DHCP Server".
If you still have problems, you should "Reinstall Parallels Tools".
