cannot access other computers on my network

I have OS X 9 and am running windows 8 along side it through parallels. I can connect to a network for internet connection but it wont let me access the other computers on my network to retrieve files and such. I am still able to access the other computers on the OS X side of things but when it comes to my vm it wont let me.

Any advice?

 

Hi MitchellGibson95,

Please Follow the steps below:

1. (Re)Install Parallels Tools as suggested at http://kb.parallels.com/4841
2. Change the network type: Go to VM Configure (http://kb.parallels.com/117287) > Hardware > Network > Select Network type > choose "Default Adapter" > restart Windows and let us know how it goes.

 

That worked. I cannot access the computers on my network directly from my windows vm but if I connect on OS X then the network files are available under my computer files where my local drives are stored.

Thanks for the help.
