Hi for what it's worth i have a solution that has fixed this issue for me. I hope this helps someone because this was very frustrating for me.Let's say all your websites are stored in 'clients' in your os x home folder, and you want to share your clients folder with parallels:
Problem:
If you select the share Parallels created for you, e.g. //.psf/clients and use that as your shared folder in IIS, you'll get all kinds of permissions issues.
1.) Turn on bridged networking.
2.) Goto os x's preferences and turn on file sharing, select that clients folder and turn on SMB sharing for that folder
3.) Go back to parallels, My Computer, My Network Places
4.) You'll see the shares you created, navigate to that clients folder and copy the address
5.) Paste that address into IIS
6.) Go back to parallels. Hit the start button / run / type 'cmd' to bring up a command prompt. When it comes up type 'ipconfig'. Note the IP address.
7.) Back to os x, safari: type in that address. That should work!
Make sure the account you 'connect as' is matched up to the account in os x's preferences sharing.
