I've checked my IP address when connected, and it sometimes shows a 10.x.x.x, but after I do an ipconfig -release, I get a correct 169.254.x.x. Can't seem to figure out what the issue is?
If it helps at all, I'm running on a MacBook Air through Parallels, with a USB to Ethernet adapter.
Any help is appreciated!

Hello,
I also use my MBP with Parallels to code. From my experience, sometimes I run into that issue as well.
Assuming the trigger for your issue is similar to mine, when using a USB to Ethernet cable, sometimes I have to force Parallels to see the USB Ethernet then press refresh next to the Connection via VIN (I keep E-Sys connection pop-up open while I do all this). When that doesn't work, still keeping E-Sys with connection pop-up open, I unplug the USB ethernet, wait 10 secs then plug it back in. Once Parallels sees the USB ethernet cable, it sometimes takes a few additional seconds before E-Sys connection pop-up automatically shows the VIN (sometimes I get impatient and keep hitting refresh if it takes more than maybe 5 seconds).
These 2 methods typically resolve the issue for me and maybe it works for you as well. If that doesn't work, then hopefully someone else has some suggestions to offer.
