I am trying to connect to rhino in Windows through Parallels. I am using the same account as I have been using for rhino on my mac side of the computer but have logged out so that it doesn’t overlap.
Everything works fine until it take me to my log in and when i put my details in it takes me to a page that reads:

Hmmm… can’t reach this page

127.0.0.1 refused to connect.

Try:

I have tried stoppping the fire wall but it hasnt helped. Im new to Windows so may be doing it incorrectly but I think im not.

Is anyone able to help me?

Thanks

Hi Claire -
From the system requirements for Rhino 7 for Windows:

Not supported

  • Virtualization systems such as VMWare, Remote Desktop, and Parallels

Thanks Wim,
So Rhino can no longer be run on Parallels?! This seems like a massive change I’m surprised they would do that as I know a lot of people that use this method for running rhino on mac with Vray.
I am able to use Rhino no problem without saving, it just wont let me log into my license?

I don’t use Parallels but it looks like something is wrong with your network setup (127.0.0.1 is the local loopback address).

Are you able to connect to websites through Parallels?

It is not supported but that does not necessarily mean it will not work, just that McNeel will not provide support if you’re having problems.

There is no change. Virtualization like Parallels have never been supported, but not blocked either. We do make efforts to get them to work but they constantly change so have never been officially supported.

Now you’re seeing why.

I used to use VMWare Fusion. It worked much better than Parallels, but still had too many problems to move to the supported list.
Now I use multiple computers.
I don’t mess with Bootcamp partitioning either.
