Running windows virtual. Will thunderbolt ethernet adapter work?

Hi
I need to program SIEMENS PLC. I want to buy a mba but this program (step 7 tia portal) only runs on windows. so I want to run it in virtual mode (parallel or virtualbox vw ware fusion.. w/e). The older plc's can be programmed with a usb connection but this connection (usb) will work in windows virtual mode right?
but here's the deal, the newer plc's can ONLY be programmed with a internet connection. so I need to give my virtual windows 7 a static ip address before I can connect with my plc.
will these both connections work? I need to know before I buy one.. and everyone gives me different answers..
thnx alot.
ps: sorry for bad english

Here is a screen shot from VMware. This is accessible from the Settings ->  Network Adapter -> Network Adapter Settings...
If you click on the TB Ethernet, radio button (as highlighted by the box), it will prompt you for the Administrative password and then create a virtual bridge interface using this physical connection.

  • Will an ethernet adapter work on an iMac?

    I have tried on numerous occasions to connect my iMac to the internet via an ethernet connection but the following message appears: "Cable Unplugged".  I have given up on the ethernet port and would like to know if an ethernet adapter would work on an iMac.  All the information that I have read says that the ethernet adapter works on a Mac but nowhere does it mention the iMac.

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to all of you.  Firstly, thanks for your input.  Good to be a part of the support community.  I went to my local Apple reseller store, explained the situation, and they recommended an ethernet to Thunderbolt adapter.  I took it home, installed it and, voila, I now have an (really fast) ethernet connection.  The gentlemen at the store told me that the adapter is not for transferring data, only internet access.  Please feel free to relay this information to anyone you know with an ethernet connection problem like the one I had.  Regards.

  • Windows 7 64bit on bootcamp doesn't recognize the thunderbolt-ethernet adapter

    in my new macbook pro retina I've a problem on window 7 64bit (bootcamp 4.0). the OS doesn't recognize the thunderbolt-ethernet adapter..

    The thunderbolt ethernet adapter works without issue on my rMBP with Windows 7. Did you download and install the Windows Support software? Did you refer to the Windows help regarding networking? Did you try a different adapter? What happens when you try to use Ethernet networking?

  • Will Apple's USB-Ethernet Adapter Work on iMac

    One of the pins in the ethernet port of my iMac were bent. The second I attempted to bring the pin up, it broke. So I haven't been able to use ethernet for over a year.
    Will the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter work on my Late 2006 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac? It is loaded with Leopard 10.5.5. I've read these adapters would only work for MBAir but will it work on my iMac?
    I'm not looking to get back Gigabyte Ethernet capability, I generally want to use ethernet again.

    I do have a Base Station the current base station.
    All my stuff except my iMac & iBook is packed deep in a storage facility since I'm on a move to someplace else. Meanwhile I'm staying in a place that doesn't have Wi-FI but offers wired ethernet connection.
    I have my iBook but I want to use my iMac again & that adapter is all I need to get it connected. I just want to know if it would work since it's intent is for the MacBook Air.

  • Thunderbolt Ethernet not working after Yosemite upgrade

    Upgraded last night to 10.10, and now my Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter has no MAC address, and my MBP appears to think the cable is unplugged - it's not, and worked fine when the MBP was running 10.9 yesterday. Things which haven't worked:
    Deleting and re-adding via Network Preferences
    Changing default IPv6 to Link-local only
    Rebooting with the thunderbolt adapter in
    Rebooting with the thunderbolt adapter not in
    Switching the thunderbolt adapter to the port further from the hinge and back again
    Unplugging and replugging the ethernet cable
    Plugging the ethernet cable directly into the wall jack instead of the hub it has always been plugged into
    Unplugging and replugging the Thunderbolt
    Changing Location to "Work" from "Automatic" and back again

    the link provide above leads to  http://plugable.com/2014/10/31/os-x-10-10-yosemite-ethernet-adapter-problems-we- can-help
    ...but these seem to be all 3rd party USB ethernet adapters and nothing to do with the Thunderbolt adapter of the thread - or am I missing something?
    I have the same blooming problem, it seems to be totally hit and miss whether the adapter works or not. 
    I thought is was a faulty adapter, so even bought a second one for my MacBook Pro, so a bit more profit for the most profitable company in the world for a non working device.  My ethernet cable works fine to an old apple USB adapter but is 90% useless with Thunderbolt.
    Renewing the DHCP lease occasionally works, but totally unreliable, at the moment it fails.
    Still looking for a reliable solution.
    Come on Apple, please sort this out, you have a connector policy of turning everything you can into adapters and dongles rather than building them in, so you end up with a slim laptop and a bag of adapters to carry around, and then when they don't  even work - doubly annoying.

  • Thunderbolt ethernet not working when computer wake up from sleep.

    thunderbolt ethernet not working when computer wake up from sleep.
    it will not happen in Mountain loin.

    I had this problem on SL and on Lion as well, and it occures for WiFi and Ethernet connections.
    In fact the internet connection was not broken as I could ping the destination usin the IP (not DNS name).
    In this case the problem was related to mDNSResponder task which handles all dns queries.
    It was the most frequent problem in my day to day work with SL and now Lion. It was never fixed by any patch from Apple. I tried almost all voodoo including fresh install, all possible config changes - no solution.
    The only version with no problems related to network was 10.5.8. All the other versions had issues of different kind (WiFi instability (lost signal), DNS problems (for wireless and wired connection) sometimes associated with machine sleep and wake up and sometimes with no reason.
    QUESTION: Is your problem independent of the access point / router you connect to.
    I must say networking was (and still is) the weakest part, besides the other OS X weaknesses I experienced during 4 years of OS X usage.
    No problems in the same network with Linux or Windows beeing ran natively on my iMac So hardware is OK.
    Software is of poor quality. Not much more to say in this matter.
    I found a very interesting article dated 1996 about programming which I think is still valid.
    Link to the article: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/06/writestuff.html
    Below the fragment (with some connection to Apple)
    Software is everything. It also s***s.

  • Run Windows on external Thunderbolt hard drive possible?

    I just got a 256GB rMBP and would like to run Windows (via Bootcamp) next to OS X for a few 3D apps. I'd love to have the 256GB internal flash drive for OS X exclusivley.
    So I wonder if it's possible to install and run Windows 7 on a external SSD that I connect via Thunderbolt so I can keep my built-in flash drive free from Windows.
    Thanks!

    Brostad
    the answer is NOT to run Windows in its own space on an external, but to get Paralells from the Apple Store $100 approx and get the helpful peeps at the store to migrate your old windows to your MBP Retina. Paralells is the best part of Mac which IMHO should be the backbone or shipped with every new Mac, esp for peeps that have a lot of expensive WIndows software, Win EXCEL ACCESS WORD, Adobe, GPS and the like.
    Once set up rightly its very hard to know if your in windows running Mac or Mac running windows. Will also boot VMs ( Virtual machines) in linux ubuntu or whatever without restarting...
    Running any major OS like OS 10.8  or Win 8 is not recommended from an exteranl as performance will suffer
    Note: Do not upgrade to Windows 8 pro from an update disk as MS allows only one end user per licence, ( some other more expensive option is required) Even if you have installed Win 8 Pro do a roll back and migate from there. The peeps at the Apple shop may have a smooth solution
    Hope this helps Robbo

  • Thunderbolt/Ethernet Adapter AVB/IEEE1588 Support.

    Hi,
    I have just seen that the Ethernet port has been removed from the MacBook Pro (retina). The Ethernet port was interestting for AVB (audio-video-bridging) development. Now that it's gone, do you know if the Thunderbolt/Ethernet Adapter supports AVB and IEEE1588?
    Thanks!

    Yes, it will work.
    All Apple Macs with a Thunderbolt port are AVB capable.

  • Thunderbolt  ethernet adapter

    Hi,
    Using the wired thunderbolt ethernet adapter my network works for about a minute after the adapter is plugged in then stops working with the cable showing as unplugged in network settings.  The only way to reconnect is to pull the adapter and re-insert it.
    As far as I can tell all software and firmware is up to date.
    Is this likely to be a faulty adapter or am I missing some other settings?
    thanks,
    Andy

  • Thunderbolt ethernet adapter causing buzz within MBP.

    I've noticed something very weird lately with my retina MBP. Whenever I'm loading largish (> 1mb images) files in the browser, my laptop emits a noise that sounds like there's a tiny little buzzer somewhere inside the laptop. It lasts as long as the file is loading onto the page or downloading in the background. I've been able to reduce the problem down to only occurring when I'm plugged in using a thunderbolt ethernet adapter. On power, off power, connected to external display or not, the noise is present. I would really like to stay connected to ethernet, but I have no idea where to begin fixing this very weird problem.

    I bought a new adapter but this one doesn't work too! That's €29 well spent
    So anybody got any clue what to do? It shows up in the system info, but there is no thunderbolt ethernet interface available in network settings...

  • Is there a driver for the thunderbolt ethernet adapter on a 2010 Macbook Air?

    The thunderbolt ethernet adapter is not being recognized on my 2010 Macbook Air running 10.6.8. Is there a driver for it?

    That's because there's no thunderbolt port on the 2010 MBair.  You need to buy the USB ethernet adapter.

  • Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter problem

    I am a composer.I just bought a Macbook ProRetina (full upgraded) to link it as a slave to my main DAW (Logic) with Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 (http://www.vsl.co.at/en/211/497/1685/1990/1680.htm).
    The system with the new MacbookPro Retina doesn't work.
    I have contacted Vienna Instruments and it seem that the problem can be on Apple side: the Thunderbolt - Ethernet adapter.
    Any information or help to how to solve this problem?
    Thanks!

    Hi xavibcn,
    I am also a composer, and I'm trying to use Vienna Ensemble Pro over a network with a Thunderbold to Ethernet adapter. Have you been able to get it to work since you posted this? Would love to hear if you found a work-around.
    Thanks!
