Windows 7 (Parallels) Will Not Connect To A Network My laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium (on Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac) cannot connect to a network on wireless. I tried plugging in the Ethernet cable, and then unplugging the router and modem from the AC power for about 30 seconds, and then plugging it back in.

I have the Parallels act as a seperate identity on the network, installed Bonjour for Windows and now I can access my mac by using the Bonjour (Rendezvous) name.

Mac Disconnects From Server

I also got around this exact same issue using Bonjour for Windows... easy to install, requires no network config change, works a charm

In /dev/null, no one can hear you scream

same here, gotta love that 'it just works' feeling in a windoze OS!!

Looks like some backslashes got eaten in the path to the hosts file:
C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts
Being a UNIX bigot, I've always found the /etc/hosts file in Windows funny. :)

Alternately, if you're using shared networking, look at the IP address of Parallels NAT (usually en3) and use that IP address for the hosts file. I'm running Ubuntu linux in a VM and I added the following to my /etc/hosts file:
10.211.55.2 realhost

Mac Disconnects From Internet

I installed bonjour and want to access my rails server (localhost:3000 on my mac). Doesn't seem to work.... Any ideas?

Instead of trying to access it via localhost:3000 try using
COMPUTERNAME.local:3000
where COMPUTERNAME is the name of your machine.

Go to System Preferences on your Mac and click the Sharing icon, then switch to the Services tab. You will see a message saying, 'Other computers on your local subnet can access your computer at ...' followed by a name ending with '.local'. Use this name, followed by ':3000', to access your local Rails server.

Hello,
Has anyone had any luck getting this to work with 10.5? I'm a bit lost as to what to do.
Thanks so much!

I accessed my local web server by typing my Macbook's IP address in the address bar, on my Parallels browser. E.g. 192.168.0.2/site1. Using Shared Networking.

Mac Disconnects From Wireless Router

I develop lots of websites on a virtual server on my Mac. I have a hosts file configured to interpret lots of different domains locally, e.g.,
127.0.0.1 mydomain.local
127.0.0.1 my-other-domain.local
etc.,
etc.,
I wanted IE within Parralels to also interpret these, but it does not recoginize localhost, or 127.0.0.1 the same.
But thanks to a few suggestions here, I figured it out.
To quote the other nice person,
'Go to System Preferences on your Mac and click the Sharing icon, then switch to the Services tab. You will see a message saying, 'Other computers on your local subnet can access your computer at ...' followed by a name ending with '.local'. Use this name, followed by ':3000', to access your local Rails server.'
In other words, find out what your computer is called on the network. Let's say it was mymac.local
Then, I found out what IP address the virtual Windows thinks mymac.local resolves to. It gave me some other IP address.
Then, I took all of the lines in my hosts file on my Mac, and copied them into a new file, and did a search and replace on the normal localhost IP of 127.0.0.1, with that new IP.
Then, I opened up C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts, and added those lines to it.
It works. Yay!
