No Ethernet/Internet Connection on Parallels 7 Running Snow Leopard Server - Fix?

I have recently installed Parallels 7 on my 2013 iMac, and have both Snow Leopard Server and Windows 7 running great on the Parallels platform.
However, after installing some anti-virus software, "ClamXav" and "MacScan", I need to have the internet connected to my Paralells 7 so I can receive viral updates to both these programs. I am unable to get any ethernet/internet connection on my Paralells 7 running Snow Leopard Server.
I have tried to update the Paralells 7 Snow Leopard Server "network Info" (in SL systems preferences" ... as the same ethernet connection info that I have running my "network connection" on my main OS Mountain Lion, but still no ethernet connection in Paralells 7.
This is a screen grab of the locations where I believe I am able to update my "ethernet" info for Paralells 7 Snow Leopard:
Obviously, I've blurred out the current info in these two windows, for security purposes, but exactly what should be applied to these windows to get my "ethernet" connection in Paralells 7 up and running?
I would think entering the exact same "network info" as appears in my Mountain Lion "Systems Preferences - Network" window, would get me internet connected on Paralells 7 Snow Leopard? Evidently not ... what is needed for me to get this right?
Anyone have experience getting "ethernet/internet" connected on Snow Leopard Server, using Paralells 7?

Since I have been directed to: "NOT waste everyones time on this discussion" the only thing more I am going to do after this post is click on: "Stop email notifications" and never return to this thread again!
Internet access through Ethernet in Snow Leopard Server installed into Parallels 8 on 2011 Mac Mini in Lion:"
I simply don't want to purchase and have to install Parallels 8 .... Parallels 7 should work fine on connecting to the Internet. Also, I was asking about the internet connection issue with the new 2013 iMac (running Mountain Lion 10.8.3 runiing Parallels 7), not a 2011 Mini Mac running Lion with Parallels 8.

Run Snow Leopard Server on Mountain Lion?

Greetings!
I wondered if some kind person could post at least a link to a walk-through guide as I keep getting Guru Meditation errors when trying to install Snow Leopard Server 10.6.3 on Mountain Lion 10.8.5.
I am currently running virtual box 4.3.14 and Mountain Lion 10.8.5 as my host OS.
Thank you in advance…

There is not a link as Apple does not support doing this. However, some have succeeded by installing Parallels (you have to purchase it) and then installing Snow Leopard Server to run under Parallels. If your MacBook Pro came with Mountain Lion preinstalled, you cannot run a lower version of Mac OS X by itself. It has to be the server version and running under Parallels.
Look at the bottom of this page under More Like This for some threads that deal with the approach you need to follow.

Running Parallels Desktop under Snow Leopard Server?

I'm considering buying a mac mini server to replace my old windows server. This would require running some windows-based server applications in a virtual machine.
Does anyone have experiences running Parallels Desktop under Mac OS X server? Parallels support says: it's not supported - use Parallels Server instead. Priced at 1248 USD, the latter is definitely not in my spending budget.

I've done this without any problems. Originally I did it because my Mac mini was the only Intel box I had available, and even accessing Parallels 3 via a Mac remote desktop on my PowerMac was speedier and more responsive than running Virtual PC directly on the PowerMac.
So, yes, it certainly runs and I had no problems. Whether newer versions, e.g. today's release of Parallels 5 will also run, I can't answer. I don't see why not. Download the free trial and see how you get on.
Me: I bought a Parallels 4 upgrade this week cos Parallels 3 won't run under Snow Leopard. <grrr>. Onl;y to discover that a new version is released today. <grrr>. I am very relieved to learn that Parallels will give me a free upgrade to Parallels 5. Good on them -- well done Parallels.

How to I run Snow Leopard, Mountain Lion and Windows 8 on my new iMac

I just bought a new iMac. My goal is to set up 3 different partions to run 3 different operating systems (Mountain Lion, Snow Leopard, and Windows 8). The reason for this post is because when I attempted to do this same thing on my old iMac ( except I was running Lion instead of Mountain Lion) I was able to create a partion that would run Snow Leopard (so I could run Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 on a more stable platform), however I totally "hosed" my old Bootcamp partition running Windows XP. The iMac won't even bootup in Bootcamp anymore. It is just a black screen and it says something about it not being a bootable drive and to insert a bootable disc.
So I need to know the best way to do this, and I want to avoid having the same problems with my new iMac that I had on my old one, especially since I have a freelance job starting next week and my client is sending me licences for software that I will need to run on Windows 8.
Thank you in advance

Use the Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 8 and a product such as VirtualBox, VMware Fusion, or Parallels Desktop to run Snow Leopard Server in emulation. That iMac model isn't capable of being booted into Snow Leopard.

Final Cut Pro 6, which is a component of Final Cut Studio 2, is not a PowerPC application; it was written for Intel Macs and should run fine in 10.8, Mt. Lion.
The problem is that there is a "bug" in the installer application that triggers the "PowerPC" dialog box when attempting to install FCP 6 into a Mac running Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks.
If the MacBook is old enough to run Snow Leopard, one solution is to partition your hard drive, or add an external one, and install Snow Leopard on it. Then use the "dual-boot" method to run either Snow Leopard or Mt. Lion on your MacBook. When running Snow Leopard, you can then install FCP 6 and run it.
In theory, once you have successfully installed FCP 6 into Snow Leopard, you could then upgrade this partition to Mt. Lion as well, and it should continue to run.
If your MacBook will not run Snow Leopard, review Jeremy Johnstone's method to use Terminal to install FCP 6 into Mt. Lion:

Optimal way to run Snow Leopard in limited fashion on Mini 2011??

Been browsing ways to run SL on new Mac Mini 2011. Have one on the way as replacement for 2009 mini running 10.5.8. I have an external firewire drive running Time Machine in one partition as well a 2nd large partition with little on it. For most of what I do, Lion and the new machine will be a great upgrade, but I still want to run Quicken 2006. Don't want to go to the hassle of trying to get SL on the internal drive of the new mini. Could I just update my current 2009 Mini to SL, back every thing up in TM, do a carbon copy of the SL system on the "unused" Firewire HD partition and the just boot up the new Mini from the external drive when I want to use Quicken? Just want to figure out the optimal way to do this without messing up my new machine when it's fresh from the package. Thanks for the advice in this and all the previous posts.

I haven't seen any tips on how to do this yet, but if you get really stuck, you can always run Snow Leopard Server under Parallels.
Typically when the products come out, they can't be downgraded to an earlier version of the system than what they came with. You could always try to see if you could find a Mac Mini 2010 cd, boot to it, then use an external drive to install that system to it, and see if it can boot your new Mac Mini.

Snow Leopard Server running extremely slow all of a sudden!!

Hi, I'm not a qualified server technician but am currently trying my best to run a server in a Secondary School! Please help, need to fix ASAP.
So basically we've got a Mac Pro running Snow Leopard server which has become incredibly slow in the past week. Nothing has changed in our department to trigger this. Here's everything I know so far...
- If I try to log on to the admin account when "Some Network Accounts Are Available", log on will take under a minute. If I try to log on to the admin account when the light goes green and "Network Accounts Are Available" log on will take forever and eventually just crash and which point I have to just force a shutdown and try again.
- When I can log on, some aspects of the computing seems fast and other aspects are really slow. For example, a few programs open as soon as I log on no problem, however a simple spotlight search or trying to open Sytem Preferences will crash the computer completely.
- Have tried booting in Safe Mode, and everything ran fast and how it's mean to but once restarting and booting normally the problems remained.
Sorry for the lack of knowledge!!
Thanks in advance.

Your comment indicates "crash the computer"? Do you mean that OS X Server itself fails, and you have to reboot? Or that the application crashes, and you have to restart it?
The following are some general approaches toward gathering some data:
Launch Console.app from Applications > Utilities and see if there are blocks of repeating errors.
Launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the following harmess, diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
After entering an administrative password and possibly seeing a one-time informational message about sudo, you should see some network configuration information and then an indication that no changes are required, or that there are DNS or network errors.
Boot from the Snow Leopard installation DVD and run a volume verification pass using Disk Utility, this from the Utilities menu of the installation disl.
FWIW...
If the applications or OS X Server are crashing, then you're generally heard toward either a reinstallation of the software, or a hardware repair, or quite possibly a combination of the two.
Forcing a hard shutdown can lead to corruptions, depending on exactly what's going on when the power drops out; that's probably best left as a last-resort approach and one best avoided.

Run snow leopard AND mavericks

Is there a way to have older OS's on a machine? I just got a new iMac and it came with Mavericks. Now none of my games work because it doesn't support "PowerPC" games. On Snow Leopard they worked just fine. Not that I play them often but every now and then I'd like to play Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, etc... I won't even get started with Sim City 4.
Thanks

Parallels will run Snow Leopard Server with no troubles... and (if you go through a WHOLE SERIES of convoluted steps and make a specially modified ISO or DMG of it) Snow Leopard. Same with VMWare. BootCamp is for Windows only.
Also, if your machine is old enough to take a Snow Leopard install on the Mac HD, (it would have to have come with SL), you can partition your Mac HD and install Snow Leopard on one partition, Mavericks on the other.
I had a G5 iMac with a 500Gb HD and I had OS10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 ALL installed on it in separate partitions.

Windows VNC clients cannot connect to Snow Leopard Server native VNC server

I am resurfacing the following related comment made in another post that discusses the same issue I am having with VNC on Snow Leopard. This is still an issue and I cannot connect to our Xserve's Snow Leopard Server with a VNC client on Windows.
I don't want to install another third party VNC server onto our SL Server, and am looking for a VNC client for windows that will connect to our SL Server.
Does anyone have any solutions?

Re: Newbie: Connect Windows -> OSX Server
Posted: Nov 4, 2009 9:26 AM in response to: Antonio Rocco
I would politely disagree. Yes, definitely, the Mac 'Screen Sharing' app works a treat, and Apple Remote Desktop.app works as well, but I am coming from a Window's PeeCee.
For me, connecting to my 10.5(.8) Server via tightvnc gives 'Server did not offer supported security type!". Using RealVNC to this machine states "No matching security types Do you wish to reconnect to ... ?" a telnet to this AppleVNCServer service (port 5900), shows RFB 003.889 *, or Remote Frame Buffer Major 3, minor 889.
Also, connecting to multiple 10.6(.1) Clients with Tightvnc correctly asks for a password but then hangs at "Status: Security type requested". Using RealVNC opens, connects, asks for authentication, and exits. Telneting to this AppleVNCServer service (port 5900), also shows RFB 003.889 *.
The Current Version of the protocol is supposed to be 3.8, that is Major version 3, minor version 8. Not 80 or 800 but Eight). http://www.realvnc.com/docs/rfbproto.pdf and I believe that tightvnc only supports up to version 3.7.
On each station I have installed the 'old' OSXVnc.app as a service (to a unique port). OSXVnc utilizes protocol 3.3 and I can control them successfully, but that is of my own doing because of this issue.
Now JollysFastVNC works a treat to any machine I have EVER tried to connect to. I have not tried COTVNC or any of the others (too slow for me, when they wer e around)
Also, I just noticed that RealVNC states that their free and personal version will not connect to Mac OSX (x86 and PPC) but the Enterprise one will. I just Dl'ed the Enterprise Viewer and it gave essentially the same thing ('protocol is not valid' message, even after it asks for a password). Anyway, I am not here to hijack this thread, just trying to keep the info flowing and open.
Maybe I am the only one with these problems but the bottom line is I cannot use Real or Tight, or UltraVNC to administer my server or clients as long as AppleVNCServer gives out the 003.889 protocol version.

Searching on the net brought me to the same solution that Mr. Hoffman found as well, I was a bit skeptical at first but since he recommended it, and all my other attempts failed, it was a last resort and I have some additional notes of my own for a successful solution. Read the two links below first before doing anything, as they contribute to the solution in tandem.

Itunes 8.2 disables Ethernet/Internet connection

In an effort to upgrade to iTunes 8.2 this morning, I d/l and installed without difficulty. However, afterward, my computer did not recognize my Ethernet and I could not connect to the internet. I restored my computer to an earlier restore point, which restored my Ethernet/internet connection and deleted iTunes 8.2. After some manipulation of files, I now have a working version of iTunes 8.0.2. This is so frustrating, b/c it has taken me several hours of research to get everything functioning as it was before installing the iTunes upgrade.
What do I have to do to get Itunes 8.2 to function on my computer without it disabling my internet access? Apparently without the upgrade to 8.2, I cannot download the software upgrade for my iPhone 3g.
Thanks for your help.

Its amazing, my previous post which was deleted by the powers that be, was solely related to the problem that alot of people are having. Namly Itunes disabling internet connection, because I was extreamly irrate about the whole this I accidentally put a swear word in the post.
How is it that the posts can be read to police against that but not to check on peoples problems and get them sorted.
Seriously apple get this problem sorted, I object to having to join this forum giving away my details so you can now email me, with alot of stuff that I don't even want. One thing I would like is for you to sort this problem out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope that isn't too many exclamation marks, hope it doesn't offend anyone.
I am running XP, when I download Itunes it gets rid of my internet connection, thus making Itunes more useless than it already is.
We are waiting for an answer. As I said in the previous post, DO YOUR JOBS AND GIVE US AN ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And for the Apple discussions staff, if you are reading this, how about a bit of customer service, stop hiding behind your standard signature block and sign your emails with a name. The personal touch would make people less inclined to lose their tempers.

When an internet connection is available, I run iTunes and it shuts down on my Windows 7 64bit computer. It used to crash when I went to the iTunes store but, after installing the newest version of iTunes it crashes if there is an internet connection. I can turn off my internet access and then run the software but, once I try the iTunes store again it crashes. It does not give an error message as to why its doing this. Just says it encountered a problem. I cannot do anything with my iPad or iPod without this working. Its extremely frustrating.
I have also contacted Apple several times and they give me links to other's problems but, none have worked to fix this.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
