Bridged networking does not function

Using Mac Mini
Snow Leopard
Parallels 5.0 9308
Guest: Windows XP

Selected bridged networking from Snow Leopard through ethernet as my mac mini is connected through ethernet.

In XP i input the ip address subnet and gateway assigned by my IT.
Guest can ping my host, but guest cannot access the internet.
It Verified IP address subnet and gateway I am using.
Seems I find other posts on the internet of bridged networking not working after users upgrade host OS to Snow Leopard.

What should I do? I need my guest OS to use my new IP adderess. Mac Mac Mini is colocated and I need the Guest OS to use a different IP than the host.
I cannot use shared networking.

Thank You

I'm using Bridged Networking with Ethernet 2 (the ethernet port on my Mac Pro that has the ethernet cable). The Default Adapter option was somehow getting addresses from the Parallels' Host only adapter so I changed it to Ethernet 2.

I'm using Parallels Desktop 5 build 9370 on Snow Leopard. Windows XP SP 3 is set to use DHCP so it automatically gets an appropriate IP address from my router. My Mac Pro has ip address 192.168.0.193 and the virtual machine was given 192.168.0.191. Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. I was not able to ping my VM until I enabled file sharing on a folder on my C drive. My VM can ping the host and other Macs on my network and access the Internet.

Are you using a router or are you connected directly to your cable modem or whatever you're using?

Your virtual machine should have a different IP address than your Mac. They should have the same subnet mask and gateway.
