Connecting form Internet to Parallels?

Hi all!

Is there an easy way to configure that Parallels allows/forwards connections form outside (Internet) in to a virtual machine (i.e. Win XP)?

I.e.: Route every TCP/IP traffic on Port 8080 form the Internet to the virtual Win XP.

Port forwarding in the router works well, but what must be set up in OS X and Parallels to get this working? (NAT? But where to configure?)

Thanks a lot for every helpful hint

From the best of my knowledge the only way to do this would be to used Bridged Ethernet. That way, your virtual machine acts like a dedicated, seperate machine from the router's persepective and will be assigned it's own IP address which you can use to forward traffic using different ports.

I could make a humerous comment regarding Windows security and open ports, but that's another matter entirely ;).
