    Running 5160. Actually, was running it for quite awhile, without any problems. Today rebooted both the Mac and the guest OS (first time in weeks), and all of a sudden, shared networking isn't working anymore. Bridged works just fine, but for various reasons I need shared. What's up? How can it be fixed?

    Yuck, sounds painful. Have you tried re-installing Parallels tools?

    I did. Reinstalled PT, rolled back Windows update installed recently, restarted the guest OS. Nothing helped. Then I rebooted the OSX (or rather, was forced to reboot it ... apps were timing out writing to shared C: drive, I tried to shut down the guest OS and it froze the entire machine), and voila -- everything worked ...

    My previous work period without reboots lasted 24 days ... I need to try and not reboot anything once it stabilizes ...

    Understand that desire... I've had periods of months without a re-boot on my XServe, users like it soooo much more. It's amazing what that 2 minutes of downtime does to people's psyci
