Okay, so I recently moved to college, we have the choice of using either their wireless or their LAN connection. Right off my wireless works just fine, except Im impatient and it's slower than their LAN connection. If your familiar at all with colleges (or at least some colleges) when I open a browser it forwards me to their service where I log in. this worked for the first couple days. I then decided to put Parallels on my computer. That all worked just fine, and I am somewhat able to connected to the internet side through windows (except my version is out of date and I dont have the right security junk. So it wont let me visit un-trusted sites) However when I switched back to the Mac side I noticed that my LAN connection was not working. I ran the diagnostic and it said the thing was working just fine, but it would no longer forward me to the page where I log in from. I putsed around in the network settings, and it happens parallels added two Ethernet adaptors (Ethernet Adaptor (en2) and (en3). Now I have no idea what these are, or what they do, but I am figuring they are curtail to Parallels since whenever I delete them they replace themselves. Ive tried connecting through those, through the built in Ethernet, (with and without the wireless off). A couple days ago I got it to work for a while, but as soon as I turned off my computer and turned it on the next day it started again, the network assistant hasnt been much help either
so at this point Im out of ideas. I want to blame this on parallels, but chances are its my fault
if you have any ideas of what I can do, it would be appreciated. Im tempted to take off parallels and see if that solves the problem. Since I really only need it to run a couple applications and not to use the internet. Anyway thank you,
