IGNORE THIS POSTING - Not a Parallels issue
My home as well as my office networks are protected by Mikrotik firewall routers. These routers allow the configuration of local DNS entries for internal servers. Anything unknown is then forwarded to the configured provider's DNS server(s).
Whilst this works perfectly for OSX itself (it finds the respective local machines by their names as defined in the routers local DNS table), my Windows 7 VM doesn't.
ipconfig /all states the correct gateway and DNS server address (the Mikrotik router). However, running a ping using the machine names returns...
Ping request could not find host <hostname>...
Doing the same in OSX using a tool called NetScan works just fine.
Anything else works just fine in the guest OS (e.g. internet).
Any idea what could cause this?
