Parallels Windows 11 Pro

[Kum Filteau]

Ihave exactly the same issue. And i guess that it could be easily solved. A couple of days ago I contacred the McNeel support and rhey suggested to start a post in the forum. So here I am. Hopefully we can solve it soon. It would be great to use my new computer wirh windows too. The Mac-version of Rhino works fine. But I have a CAM plugin (MADCAM) I would like to use too. Actually I have to use it. Kind regards Florian

FWIW, I am in a similar situation. Running an M1 with Parallels v17 and Windows 11. I was hoping to be able to use Rhino on the Windows side to take advantage of some industry specific windows-only plugins / connections, but unfortunately it does not work currently.

Rhino does run on the Mac side of course, but a bunch of the specific plugins I use are windows only. Its definitely too bad this is all not working now. If anyone might have any suggestions on fixes to try I would very much appreciate it!

This question does not appear to be about a specific programming problem, a software algorithm, or software tools primarily used by programmers. If you believe the question would be on-topic on another Stack Exchange site, you can leave a comment to explain where the question may be able to be answered.

I had the same problem as you Ranch. I'm running Win7 on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard) / Parallels 5. I solved my localhost problem on mac , by turning off win7 firewall and "enable" anonymous authentication in Authentication setting in IIS Manager.

This depends on how your network card is setup in the virtual machine. I don't know how it is in parallels, but in VMWare Fusion you can either set it up as "bridged" (which means sharing the same ip with the host), "NAT" which means it will have it's own private ip address and connect to the internet through the host , or "Private network" which means it will have a private IP address and will not connect to the internet. In the second and third case you can access the web server running on windows using the private ip address of the virtual machine, but in the bridge case I don't think this can be done.

Then, you will have to access the Windows local IP address (not 127.0.0.1) from the Mac browser. You can find out the IP address to use by opening a command prompt in the Windows guest and taking a look at the output of the ipconfig command.

Summing up: you have to set up your apache virtual host config first as described and then you have to open: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and enter: 10.211.55.2 mysite.localhost (or whatever you defined in your virtual host config file). Hope this helps for those with the same problem as me.

Some years ago I followed the same route of having the same codebase accessible from macOS and Windows through a shared folder, and that proved to be the cause of the (much) slower compilation time on Windows.

The biggest improvement I saw in compilation time on Windows besides using an SSD for my VM via Thunderbolt 3 was to exclude all the temporary folders VS uses and all processes and the project folder from Windows Defender.

There is something strange about Projucer and paths across the two, Each time I compile in windows, the Mac paths become invalid and the projucer project needs saving on the mac side which then corrects it.

I'm trying to get a VPN connection connected to our organisations VPN. I am using an M1 mac with Parallels running windows but the x64 version is not working (windows can emulate x64 instructions from what I understand). The windows don't open to the configuration menu items so I'm unable to configure it even though it runs and is running in the taskbar. So, is there a way to get it working or is there going to be a ARM version for windows for the software?

The fact that you are running this on an Apple M1 Mac shouldn't really matter. What the Check Point VPN software sees and interacts with is a Windows x86-64 installation of Windows. The fact that this operating system is being emulated by Parallels shouldn't really be visible to the operating system and thus not affecting things in such a way.

What version of Windows are you running and what version of the Check Point VPN client are you deploying?

Windows in Parallels on an M1 Mac isn't amd64, it's aarch64. The instruction translation would be done within Windows. I don't think this is going to work, as Check Point's endpoint software does some lower-level things which probably involve instructions Windows doesn't translate.

What endpoint features are needed? If only VPN access is required, look into Check Point's L2TP-over-IPSec functionality. It works with the VPN client built into Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and more.

We do have native clients that run on the Mac and are supported with the M1 processor (albeit they require Rosetta2 currently).

Or if you need something in the Windows VM, you can use the Check Point Mobile client from the Windows Store.

Exactly. Parallels does not emulate a processor architecture, so Windows in Parallels on an M1 Mac would be the aarch64 version of Windows. Microsoft has its own amd64-to-aarch64 instruction translation layer like Apple's Rosetta 2, but I suspect it only works for userspace software (i.e., nothing ring 0 or below).

I don't know about the configuration on the organisations side, but I was told I am only able to use the checkpoint VPN client, so unless they specifically allow it I don't think the L2TP-over-IPSec is an option?

Im facing similar problem, im running win10 in Parallels app on M1 macbook air. The problem is that I need to have my native os (macOSX) connected to corporate VPN while WIN10 connected to a client. I've installed Check Point mobile E86.80 and i can not even open the menu to configure sites. I see error - connectivity with the vpn service is lost. Any thoughts how to solve this?

i'd like to ask you, one our client is using certificate + ldap password on the VPN remote access, I've successfully installed my certificate but still have error while connecting. Is there any way how to troubleshoot this erorr?

Now I switched to a new Macbook Pro with Apple M1 cpu which has an ARM64 architecture. So I'm now on Windows 11 ARM version. Cisco is the only VPN client (and those on virtual desktops) which is working in this constellation. I tried the 32 and 64 bit versions of the current windows FortiClients, none is working.

When I searched for "FortiClient" in the Microsoft Store, I found that App and I installed it. After the Installing process there is a white App with only a notice with some information, when you opened it in the Windows Start Menu. The Header is called: "FortiClient v1.0.1041".

To Configure the App, I open the Settings and searched for 'VPN Settings'. There I click on 'Add VPN' and add the Name, url:port, the Name and the Passphrase. We have no certificate in my Company. After that I select in VPN Provider the FortiClient. I enabled the "Remember my sign-in info".

How to use Microsoft Store to install most recently version? The avaliable one is 2016.

Using directly from FortClient site does not work, installation run perfectly without erros, but when try to connect take a few second and finish, not complete VPN connection.

Something rare, constantly Windows is trying to install network interface without succes, i happend for you too?

The Fortinet Security Fabric brings together the concepts of convergence and consolidation to provide comprehensive cybersecurity protection for all users, devices, and applications and across all network edges.

Not quite sure where to post this so I chose Admin. I think @ChrisHemedinger has answered some questions on this topic, but I thought the fastest way to get an answer would be on communities. My current machine (a MacBook Pro manufactured in 2017) is on the "unable to support" list now due to it's age and I need to get a new machine. My institution is unable to purchase a MacBook Pro with an Intel chip (i9 specifically) that has adequate memory and space needs. I have looked and they aren't out there. So I am going to have to purchase a MacBook Pro with an M1 chip.

Third, I like a Mac and have been using one for nearly my entire career. I will not go over to what I call the "dark side" and utilize some type of completely windows OS based machine. Please don't try to convert me. You like what machine type you like and I like what machine type I like.

Fourth, because of memory and space needs for utilizing SAS, I do need to it under a Windows VM and I have been using VM Fusion running some version of Windows OS (currently version 10), successfully for years (like nearly my entire career) and I work seamlessly between the VM and other apps running on the Mac. However, I have done some research and found that Fusion isn't quite there yet with running Windows on an M1 chip. They are getting there. I am looking into Parallels but I believe that 1) you have to run and ARM of Windows (I am not sure what that means) and 1) I believe the current version of Parallels (version 17) only allows for Windows 11 (people have indicated that they haven't been successful in installing Windows 10).

One avenue that might have some promise is SAS Analytics Pro on SAS Viya (blog announcement here). This is a containerized version of SAS Viya that supports all of your classic SAS programming code in a SAS Studio interface. You can install it on your machine and run in Docker (which does run on Mac, Windows, Linux). Even if you've never done that before, it's not that difficult to set up. It's also a cool skill to have and you might find other uses for Docker along the way.

I appreciate your desire to stick with MAC. However it is a fact that you are running SAS on Windows. Even if the Windows is on a VM, Its good that your machine is able to support the workload of two operating systems (even if the second is on a VM- ultimately the physical hardware is the same). In your future scenario you would still be running SAS on Windows.
