MacOS "Connect as" in Network does nothing...

[Mcrumors David]

- MacOs Ventura 13.2
- Paralells VM (13.2)
- Sharing Folder in main VM
- In Paralells, Network tab, my main VM is visible. Clicking on "Connect As..." does nothing. Why?

How is the network configured?

Bridged Network should work.

Since there are no configuration options on M1 ...it is default. (Yes I can access apple.com in the VM)

In the settings of the Virtual Machine, not inside it.
"To switch between network modes go to menu bar when virtual machine is active > Devices menu > Network."

There is no such menu option for M1...

What options are in Edit?

Standard ones from MacOS for text editing apps it seems...

In the Actions menu - Configure – Hardware - Network

There is no "actions" Menu in VMs on M1

Yes, there is. And 3 ways to access the settings of a virtual machine.

Not on mine.

I do not have the menu option, nor the gear icon.

Are you using the latest version 18.2.0 (53488)? Do you have the Standard Edition? It might be missing some features https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/#compare

 

[Mcrumors David]

Yes, yes. Standard pay-once-edition.
