Parallels Won't Connect to Internet via Verizon Wireless Modem
OK, I am a newbie, as the name implies. I purchased a MacBook Pro with supposedly Leopard? Mac Os X (somewhere on the machine it said Tiger - does it matter?), with Parallels installed by the friendlies at MacMall. I start Windows and cannot connect to the Verizon wireless express card which is working just fine. The Parallel's User Manual is a joke... how do I make this thing work?

In edit menu > virtual machine choose network adaptor. Check enabled and connect at startup if they aren't.
Experiment with different network options but I have mine set to bridged ethernet with default adaptor. I have a wired ethernet though so you might need to use en1: wireless adaptor.
I have tried various settings in Parallel's - there seems to be something seriously missing in Parallels - I can't believe I am the first to ever attempt this.
Are your network adaptors installed correctly? If you go into your system prefs > network, do you see Parallels network adaptors in the list called Parallels Host-Guest and Parallels NAT? If so, do they have an assigned IP address?
Thanks, Marvin. You are very kind to take time to help. From the Parallel's manual I was able to learn that I had to connect through the Mac OS, not directly through Parellel's, but there seems to be no info anywhere on how to connect to a wireless broad-band Verizon modem already installed and working under the Mac OS. I have tried various settings in Parallel's - there seems to be something seriously missing in Parallels - I can't believe I am the first to ever attempt this.
Did you ever solve this problem? I'm having the same difficulty!
Thanks!
I'm having the same problem that newbie user had. I can't seem to find the list called Parallels Host-Guest and Parallels NAT in preferences. Where do I go to find it?
Thanks!
They should be in the system prefs > network.
