Homegroup and Networking in Parallels for Mac

[threeoten]

I'm trying to get my PC and and Windows 7 running in Parralels on my Macbook Air to see each other on the network and neither of them will show up at all. I tried setting it up in homegroup as well, turned on all the sharing options on both computers.. nothing. I need to get this going asap so I can share my PC's DVD drive to install some windows software on my mac in Parallels!

Thanks!

Oh! I figured it out! Switch Parallels network settings to 'bridged'

Hi!
I have Parallels 12 and trying to connect homegroup in virtual machine running Win10. I can see all devices connected to the network, and when typing in the homegrown password, the Mac starts to think and nothing happens. Any idea to resolve this?
Thanks a lot in advance!
