Click to expand.Two things: 1. Have you tried using a Cat 5 cable (RJ 45 ethernet cable) to see how it works with a wired connection, just for testing? Mine was not Parallels, but XP running on it's own with a USB D-link wireless.
Tiger works just fine, but it's using an Airport card. Have you used the Network settings in the XP control panel?
Start the virtual machine, go to Parallels Desktop dropdown menu -> Devices -> Network 1 -> change network connection type to Host-Only Network; Connect your USB modem to virtual machine. For this purpose click on Parallels Desktop top menu -> Devices -> External Devices and check the necessary modem.
Be careful here though not to make it the computer's default. And there is the wireless connection properties box in the lower right taskbar in XP.
Right click or control click on the wireless signal there for network settings. This is similar to the wireless icon at the top right of the OS X menu bar. Frankly Windows is a bit of a hassle. It's like having to be a car's mechanic in order to drive it. I too am having issues with internet connectivity on the windows end. And I'm sick and tired of all of the issues Leopard has.
I've never has so many problems with a Mac (and I've had every operating system in the past 8 years or so). This is what I'm running: Imac w/Leopard 10.5.2 Parallels 3.0 running Windows XP Wireless connection through an Apple Extreme Airport Internet connection works perfectly on the Mac side.
Internet connection worked perfectly on the Windows side yesterday (did not have to set anything up, it just worked, like it should). Nothing has changed, but the windows side will no longer connect to the internet. When I go through the steps to set up the internet connect (through the connection 'wizard') on the IBM side it already detects the connection. 'Your broadband connection should already be configured and ready to use.
If your connection is not working properly, click the following link' And then it links to some BS describing how to fix a broadband connection (which does not work either). I have no problems connecting to the internet when using parallels/windows XP on my MacBook laptop that is running Tiger, so I'm assuming that this is yet another Leopard bug. Any one have a fix for this? I'm sick of banging my head against the wall!
Two months elapsed and no reply. I too am having connectivity problems and have done so since 'upgrading' from Parallels 11 to Parallels 13: since then, Although other programs are able to access the 'net via my Mac's WiFi connection, IE cannot connect. I've tried using the Mac's Ethernet connection which seems better for other programs though IE refuses to cooperate.
I'm also running Windows XP. Any suggestions beyond uninstall/reinstall PT/PD and the various commands as mentioned about configuring ips? None have worked.
