    I am awfully sorry that I have to ask this once again - but I did not understand the solution given earlier in this forum by Sean Delaney:

    As I understood it, I have to do one thing: Change the IP of localhost in the ../etc/hosts file in the Windows VM to the IP given to Parallels in my Macs System Preferences/Networks (however, there are two different IPs given to Parallels there and I didn´t get which one to use).

    > Which of the two (if I understood it correctly until there) ?
    > And what do I have to type into the IE browserline then ?
    > Do I need my Macs IP too ? What for ?

    Could someone pls clarify this for me ?

    Thanks a lot in advance,

    Peter
