Hello everyone and thank you for any and all help in advance... My objective: To be able to access (via Remote Desktop) WinXP SP3 (running via Parallels Desktop 4.0) and also a MS SQL Express server running on that virtual PC, from outside my home network. My setup: Cable Modem --> Airport Base Station --> Desktop Mac --> Parallels --> WinXP --> SQL Server Could someone please confirm what I suspect I must do: - open RDC and SQL server ports on my base station and point those at the IP address of my virtual Windows machine - select "Bridged Networking" as the connection type for my virtual machine - in the Windows OS, open the network connection TCP/IP properties and manually assign an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS that match my Airport Base Station... (the IP I manually assign will be the one I port forward to in my base station) - I do not need to do any port forwarding in the network tab of the Parallels preferences... Anything I missed?
No, the steps you have described should work just fine if Bridged-networking works for VM in your environment. Als check before an attempt to connect from outside world that connecting from some other computer in your home-network works. For example, check that connect works from your Mac on which the VM is running Just pedantic note: Make sure that it is the same IP that VM have
