    I have the same problem, and haven't been able to figure it out. Running Windows XP SP2 and recently started getting limited or no connectivity on my wireless connection. I tried reinstalling parallels tools, and that didn't help.

    You can try switching the network adapter....normally you have a shared network. Try switching it to bridged. (when you start parallels you get an information screen, click on network adapter and change it)

    I have just developed the same problem using Windows XP on a Macbook. What worked for me was, in the Parallels menu, go to 'Devices', 'Network Adapter' then tick/check 'Airport' (my wireless router, you will have to tick/check whatever yours is). However the problem resurfaced again after a few days and although the above worked again I don't know if its a real permanent fix. Repairing permissions after that 'fix', rather than before, might work?

    I just have the VM set to "default adapter" and have had zero problems since I first did the windows install - it just uses the current default on my Mac (including my 3G modem).

    I can even access an 802.1x wifi network via the Mac and the Windows VM just "works" as it appears the VM lets the host do all the heavy lifting w.r.t. the network connection...
