    Hi,

    a customer runs Parallels on a Mac Mini hosting a Windows XP image. Several users access this via RDP to get access to legacy applications. At the start of the week he upgraded to Parallels Desktop 10 and, against our advice, OSX 10.10 Yosemite. The problem we have now is that the VM cannot access network shares on the host.
    It can read and write files to shares on other computers but not the Mac Mini.
    Other computers can access the share on the Mac.
    The VM can browse the network and see the share on the Mac.
    When you try to access it, it asks for a user name and password which it will always reject. The same credentials work on other machines.
    Has anyone got any suggestions?

    Laurie
