I specifically need to access various online service from within QuickBooks Pro 2006 running on Windows XP Pro within Parallels on my Macbook, but it just won't see the internet while in Starbucks.
Here are the places I CAN connect to the internet wirelessly while running Windows XP from within Parallels:
Anonymous networks I can access while at home
Washington State Ferry wireless system
Various non-Starbucks coffee shops in and around Seattle
And the places I CANNOT:
Starbucks
Home (via old Airport Base Station)
Needless to say I won't be renewing my monthly Starbucks wirless account if I can't get QuickBooks to connect while running on Windows XP in Parallels on my Macbook.
System info:
Parallels Desktop for Mac Build 1862 Beta (and also production versino before the beta was released)
Network Adaptor Options:
