Ok, so I have a laptop running windows xp (connected directly to a router) and a macbook pro running parallels 3.0 (connected wireless) What do I need to setup so I can use parallels to access the shared files on the laptop? I can access it fine using mac os, just can't seem to get it working within parallels. Thanks!
The easiest way is to use Bridged Networking for Parallels. Alternatively, set-up natd and ipfw to forward those ports to your Windows VM.
