Parallels Question with Windows XP Pro
Hello,
I just got my MacBook today, and I installed Parallels on my computer and I also installed Windows XP Pro and everything works great except for the fact that I have no internet inside windows. I really need to have internet, can anyone give me a clue as to what I am doing wrong. I have bridge connection turn on and when I go to Networks under System Preferences in OS X, it says that it is fully up and running.
Thanks

I can't help you other than to say I've had the same problem. I have no internet and nothing I've done or read has helped much. I've just given up.
Then that really defeats the point on having parallels if it works with a dual boot . . . .

Parallels networking works fine for me. I just use bridged connection and select connect cable at startup. If you don't select connect cable, it doesn't work.
I have that turned on that is what is confusing me.

Did you say that the Parallels adaptor in your Mac system prefs is green too?

yeah it is green, it will work fine if I am connected to a cat5 cable, but I can be on wireless, and even in System Preferences both the airport and the parallel connections are green and I still can not access the internet inside of windows, its very frustrating

So it's just the wireless that's not working. What is your connection set to in Parallels? default, en0 or en1? Also, is your wireless network encrypted? I wouldn't have thought it would make a difference but I don't know how the Parallels adaptor works.
