    Ok so I got my Parallel desktop installed and it works but I can not for the life of me figure out how to set the parallel side up to the wireless internet I use. Can anyone advise me on what I'm missing? When I go to IE it says it can't connect but when I'm using regular mac I have a full signal. Thanks to anyone who can help me!

    Internet / Network on Parallel

    I'm not sure if this will prove helpful, but it seemed to help me...

    When setting up (or editing the Parallels network configuration, I found that the default "shared" networking gave me some problems. I switched to "bridged" mode and then found that all of my networking, sharing and internet applications worked perfectly.

    Which mode are you using for your Parallels networking?

    How do I figure out which mode I'm in? What is a bridged mode? I'm so not a Windows person (mac baby!) but I have to get it running for my job.

    When you first start Parallels, but before you start your "Windows" virtual machine....
    You can edit your virtual machine; one of those setting is the "Network".
    This will tell you what/how your "Parallels/Windows" network is set.

    And is the "Bridged" mode working (better) for you?
