Lost Ethernet after Parallels Installation

[craigolio]

Hello -

 

I have a weird problem. After installing Parallels, my built-in ethernet on my Dell Inspiron 9400 (aka E1705) has stopped working.

 

The network setup wizard shows the parallels newtork adapters, but tells me that the built-in ethernet is not connected to the internet.

 

The good news is that the 2007-02 airport update works swimmingly with my wireless card.

 

I don't even know what information to provide so that someone might help. I suppose I could uninstall parallels. . . FWIW, XP boots and runs fine, but it also has no apparent access to the ethernet . . . only wireless.

 

What info could I provide to help in diagnostics?

 

Thanks!!
