    I posted here about how Shared Network has stopped working, on a MacBook Pro M3 computer running Parallels 19.3.1. I filed a technical report, posted in that thread.

    But here is the new problem - I changed it to Bridged Connection (default adapter) since Shared was not working. Things seem fine through the week, although I really don't like that connection type as the VM now appears as a device on the network (which is why we should have Shared working). But in my weekly network log monitoring, I saw that in 7 days, the VM had 523 DHCP requests!!

    That's just about 75 a DAY! Is there some setting I don't know about that has the VM requesting a DHCP address every 20 minutes, or is this a bug???
