bridged ethernet not working

[stevp1]

I have my XP VM set for bridged ethernet. Windows is unable to get an address from my DHCP server. I have tried re-installing parallels tools.

Please help!

edit: build 5608

here is XP ipconfig:

disregard

never mind...

found out the switch i was plugged into was blocking multiple MAC addresses on the same port. not everything is Parallels fault!
