MAC USB/Ethernet SYS Issues VIN -HELP

I could not find anything about this but if there is please let me know and I'll delete this post. I have a Mac and installed parallels with windows 10. Installed everything like in the directions. here is the problem: I don't have a ethernet port on the mac, bought a TrendNet usb/ethernet adapter and installed the software/driver on the mac and also in windows 10 machine. Still don't seem to be able to connect via Vin in E-Sys. Thank you so much !

I cannot endorse because I have not tried them, but on Amazon there are several BMW OBD II connectors with a USB end. Everyone I spotted had mediocre to terrible reviews however.

I'd try uninstalling the drivers that came with the adapter and see if the stock/inbox drivers work instead. Also, have you confirmed that the adapter works via getting you out to the web?

@PlayTookies , I uses VirtualBox instead of Parallel computing.
The same idea is the same, make sure the port is available on the windows side instead of the osx side.
