ƒ  Select  Host-only networking if you want to emulate a network inside your computer, you 

don't want to access a network outside your local computer, or you don't have physical 
network interface card. When you set this option, the primary OS and other Parallels 
Workstation virtual machines inside it are visible, thus making possible to imitate a network 
that includes the primary OS and a number of virtual machines. The Creating Host-Only 
Network (page 132) topic discusses how to configure a host-only network. 

 

ƒ  This tab allows you to specify a network driver to be used in your guest OS. In the current 

version of the Parallels Workstation a RTL8029 driver for the Ethernet adapter is supported. 
It is already selected in the Type field.  

You can find native Realtek RTL8029 drivers for many different guest OSes in the Parallels 
Tools (page 76) pack shipped together with the Parallels Workstation. 

In Windows 2000/XP/2003 guest operating systems you can improve network performance 
by installing a specially developed PRLETH driver that can be found in the Parallels Tools 
(page 76) pack. 

ƒ  A MAC address is generated automatically but can be changed manually. If you decide to 

change it, please make sure that the number is unique inside your network.
