I've been working on the Angular 2.0 app on my Mac, but the server side ASP.NET I'm moving it to is running on Windows using ASP.NET Core and so I need to run my API application in a Windows VM on Parallels and access this API from the Mac side where the Angular application is running locally using the WebPack dev server. I've been building various different kinds of backends for this Angular 2.0 front end app and it's been very easy to simply swap them out by changing the base URL to the API endpoints. If you cannot configure your virtual machine to function in the Bridged Ethernet mode, you can consider using another networking mode: Shared Networking or Host-Only Networking.įor the information about troubleshooting networking problems, refer to the Parallels knowledge base available at the Parallels website.Today I ported over my AlbumViewer sample Angular 2.0 application I worked on for a workshop for the last few weeks, to my ASP.NET Core project. Note: If the WiFi bridging does not work in your virtual machine, try to enable the Send the host's MAC address to DHCP server option in the Network Adapter pane to ensure that the virtual machine gets a valid IP address from the WiFi access point for accessing the Internet. In the Bridged Ethernet drop-down list, choose AirPort.Īfter you perform these steps, your virtual machine will be able to connect to the Internet through the AirPort adapter of your Mac.In the Network Adapter pane, make sure that the Enabled, Connected and Bridged Ethernet options are selected.Select Network Adapter in the Hardware list.

Choose Configure from the Virtual Machine menu to open the Virtual Machine Configuration dialog.

To configure your virtual machine to access the Internet through WiFi: When operating in this mode, your virtual machine appears on the network as a stand-alone computer with its own IP address and network name. Using the Bridged Ethernet mode, you can set up a WiFi connection and access the Internet wirelessly.

Parallels Desktop provides you with an opportunity to connect your virtual machine to a wireless network.
