    I just switched to host-only networking with internet sharing from bridged ethernet, so I can use my MacBookPro away from home with a single IP address. I'm able to access any internet host & even connect to my office VPN from Windows XP in PD but I can't see any Bonjour devices. I have Bonjour for Windows installed and when using bridged ethernet I'm able to see all of my Bonjour printers and my shared iTunes libraries.

    How can I get Bonjour working with host-only?

    Ouch- I'm having the same problem. I just switched to Host-only networking so that I could use the Bluetooth modem in my Treo 650 when I'm on the road. Unfortunately, Host-only networking does NOT appear to work with Bonjour. In other words, no Printer Sharing. I can handle all the juggling necessary- including rebooting Parallels to switch between Host and Bridged just to print a freakin' sheet of paper- but I don't think my staff can- or should. Nice way to shut my business down.

    Please Parallels team- we need real Bonjour and Bluetooth modem support!
