2.3 Usable Network and Disk interfaces on various hypervisors:.2.2 CHR has been tested on the following platforms:.If the problem comes back, I'll post more here. I don't know.īut "Restore Defaults" seems to have fixed it. Maybe something changed in the "Host-Only" window. I took a snapshot of the "Shared" window before hitting the "Restore Defaults" button, and it looks to me like nothing there changed. and hitting "Restore Defaults" at the bottom. Parallels Desktop > Preferences > Network So it appears as though the problem I had was resolved by going to: But everything still seems to be working. I figured it would eventually die, like it had in the past.
I was able to access webpages in Mac OS Chrome, and also in the VM's Chrome. I opened up my Windows-10-Pro VM, expecting that to kill the internet. I quit Parallels, tested to make sure I had internet, then opened Parallels Control Center again, expecting the internet to die. I went into the Network tab and hit "Restore Defaults" at the bottom. I reset all the VMs to the network configurations they had originally had. I just really don't think an individual VM's settings are relevant here. Then I opened the Parallels Control Center again. I reconfigured all 15 VMs to be "Bridged (Default Adapter)." Tried the internet, but it didn't work. Opened the Parallels Control Center (with all VMs configured to be Shared). I shut down the Mac (not just a restart). Double-checked that internet worked again (it did) then opened up just the Parallels Control Center. I reconfigured the 1 Bridged Linux VM to be Shared like all the others. But again, this doesn't seem like it should make a difference since merely opening the Control Center, without any VMs running, is often enough to kill the internet connection.
The others are all "Shared Network (Recommended)." I have a total of 15 VMs, two for Windows (both Shared) and the rest various flavors of Linux (1 of which, as I said, is Bridged). Of my other VMs (none of which have I opened), only 1 is configured to be "Bridged (Default Adapter)". My Windows-10-Pro VM is configured to use "Shared Network (Recommended)" as its Network Source. Merely opening the Control Center after the restart killed my internet. I tried restarting my Mac, then opening merely the Parallels Control Center. Meanwhile, if I find anything out myself, I'll post it here. I'm obviously going to be messing with anything and everything I can think of to get this working, but I wanted to ask if anyone knows what's up to hopefully stop me from spinning my wheels here. Since internet seems to die merely with Parallels control panel open (at least sometimes), it doesn't appear to me that the issue probably has anything to do with a particular VM's settings (like whether it's bridged or whatever). But regardless of timing, my internet always dies and always resumes when I close out of all Parallels instances and quit Parallels completely. Sometimes it takes another minute or two after opening the VM, and I can access the internet in the meantime both in the Mac OS and also in the VM's Windows OS, before it finally dies. Sometimes the internet continues to work until I open the VM itself. Sometimes, if I just open the Parallels control panel (no VM at all), my internet dies. I've been able to replicate this multiple times, but the exact details are hazy. After closing out of all Parallels windows and quitting Parallels, internet connectivity returned. But then, shortly after I later opened a Parallels Windows-10-Pro VM, I lost all internet connectivity. After I upgraded this morning, I opened Chrome, browsed a bit, and everything was good. This morning () I upgraded my Mac to Big Sur 11.1.
