Windows XP running in Parallels sometimes doesn't seem to get a network connection on startup

Note to self: when Windows XP running in Parallels doesn’t get a network connection, this tip has worked for me: You can try the following…

1. Open Mac System Preferences -> Network -> Parallels NAT;
2. In Configure IPv4 field choose “Off” and click “Apply”;
3. Do the same for Host-Guest adapter;
4. Shut down the Virtual Machine;
5. Reboot the Mac and switch DHCP back on for both Parallels network adapters;
6. Restart Parallels.
