Switching Into the Hibernate Mode

If your running virtual machine with a Windows guest OS has an Intel PCIe network card in its configuration, you may experience problems with putting your primary OS into the Hibernate mode (the Sleep mode). To fix these problems, perform the following actions:

1. In the guest OS, go to Start > Control Panel > Network Connections and open Local Area Connections .
2. In the Local Area Connections window, click Properties .
3. In the General tab of the Local Area Connections Properties window, click Configure next to the network card name.
4. In the network card properties window, open the Power Management tab and disable the Wake on Direct Packet option in the Wake on LAN settings.

Note: These actions will help you to put your primary OS into the Hibernate mode only if Parallels Tools are installed in the Windows guest OS.
