Unable to connect to Internet thru Parallels running Vista (can't find network adapt)
I recently purchased a Macbook Pro and installed Parallels. I first installed Windows XP and I was able to setup my Internet connection. When I upgraded to Vista, I received the message that a network adapter was not installed and could not find an update (or driver) when I looked at my Ethernet connection in the device manager. My connection runs smoothly on my mac, so how do I connect within Parallels?

Same problem - need help!
I have the same problem with my Macbook Pro - it doesn't recognize that there is an ethernet driver but my connection is fine when I'm working from the Mac and not on Vista in Parallels
