As a result, the virtual machine that is working in host-only mode can only see and ping other virtual machines and communicate with the gateway (10.37.129.1). This mode is similar to Shared Network except that this virtual subnet (10.37.129.x) is isolated from the outer world. Bridged: Default Adapter corresponds to whichever network adapter is chosen as the default (the first in the list System Preferences > Network) on the Mac.(may work unstable depending on router settings) Bridged: Wi-Fi corresponds to your Mac Wi-Fi adapter.Bridged: Ethernet corresponds to your Mac Ethernet adapter.Note: when selecting this network mode Parallels Desktop is no longer responsible for any network connectivity issues.īridged network can be enabled on a particular network interface, such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi or other Mac network interfaces. Other computers can ping and see the virtual machine.A virtual machine can ping and see all computers in the subnet.A DHCP server (e.g., your router) provides a virtual machine with an IP address within the same IP range as other computers in the same subnet.A virtual machine appears as a separate computer that belongs to the same subnet as the Mac it is running on.When this network mode is used, your virtual machine uses a virtualized network interface card with direct access to Internet.

This network mode is suitable for most of the user needs. If Mac is connected to virtual private network - VPN access is automatically shared with virtual machine.A virtual machine use full Internet access.
