Creating Host-Only Network 
Parallels Workstation provides virtual network accessible only to the primary operating system 
and virtual machines running on it. The primary operating system is attached to this network 
through the Parallels Host-Guest Virtual NIC adapter installed along with Parallels Workstation. 
For a virtual machine to join such a host-only network, the guest network adapter should be set 
to host-only networking. IP addresses for the primary operating system and virtual machines 
may be: 
ƒ  dynamic (assigned by Parallels DHCP server running on host-only network); 
ƒ  static (assigned manually). 
Configuring Network with Dynamic IPs 
IP addresses for machines in a host-only network are provided by Parallels DHCP server that is 
started automatically whenever you launch Parallels Workstation. DHCP server is installed 
along with Parallels Workstation. 
Configure network with dynamic IPs in the following way: 
1  Open Configuration Editor for the virtual machine and on the Network Adapter Options (on 
page 119) tab select the Host-only networking parameter. 
2  Select Edit->Preferences in the Parallels Workstation menu. Specify a range of IP addresses 
to be assigned to the virtual machines on the Network (page 93) tab.  
Configuring Network with Static IPs 
To configure host-only network with static IP addresses you have to manually assign them to 
the primary operating system and to each virtual machine in which you want to include on the 
network.  
The virtual machine should be configured as follows: 
1  Open the Configuration Editor for the virtual machine and on the Network Adapter Options 
(on page 119) tab select the Host-only networking parameter.  
2  Start the virtual machine and specify the IP address by standard means for the guest 
operating system installed on it.  
Configuring a static IP address for the primary operating system: 
In Windows primary OS
1  Open Windows Control Panel, select Network Connections
2  In the Network Connections window right click on the Parallels Workstation network 
adapter, Parallels Host-Guest Virtual NIC, to display its context menu and select Properties in 
it. 
3  The  Parallels Host-Guest Virtual NIC Properties windows is displayed, in This connection 
uses the following item list select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties button. 
4  In the Internet Protocol TCP/IP Properties window select Use the following IP address option, 
after that other options in this group become accessible. Specify IP address and Subnet mask 
for the primary system.
