Update:I think i found the culprit, when windows tries to troubleshoot network connection it can't because the changed win8 user name i is listed in the "details" explanation of why it can't troubleshoot the network connection. I need help changing that user name back to its original name, it sounds and is probably simple but not for me!
Mac internet/network is fine but parallels 8-win8 lost its network/Internet connection

I suspect it has something to do with my "renaming" the "user" in Parallels 8/win8 as that is about the time I lost internet.

I had the same user name in both mac and Windows and was getting confused so I tried to rename my "user" in win8 and may have done it twice in two different places and don't quite know where as I don't know Win8.

I have tried rebooting/complete shutdown a couple of time as well as reinstalling Parallels tools a couple of times.

I got about 6 wasted hours in it so far.

Thanks for reading.
