connecting with Microsoft Explorer

Just installed Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac. I can't seem to get Explorer to connect to the internet - it doesn't seem to see the external modem connected by USB - Explorer opens to home page but is offline - won't/can't connect even if the host computer is connected to the internet through the external modem - I've looked through the manual but can't find how to fix this. Can anyone help me with this? Please and thank you!
 
1. Check do you have Network Adapter connected and Enabled in VM configuration
2. please post here
ifconfig -a from Mac Terminal
and
ipconfig /all from Windows command console
 
Network adaptor is connected and enabled in VM configuration
where will I find:
ifconfig -a from Mac Terminal
and
ipconfig /all from Windows command console
 
Open Terminal from /Applications/Utility - Mac OS
Start - Run - type in cmd, click Enter - Windows Command console

Better to select Shared Networking
 
Not sure if you got my reply to your last message:
Terminal - Mac

Windows Command console

I typed in ipconfig /all - space between g and / - terminal appeared briefly - empty and then disappeared
with no space I got an error message - Windows cannot find "ipconfig/all". Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.

I hope this helps - why is it not automatically making the connections? I've searched the manual and can't find out anything to change.

Thanks for your help

in Mac OS type in
ifconfig -a

In Windows
do not type ipconfig /all in Run window, type cmd
in new black window type
ipconfig /all
with space in between words

When I type in ipconfig /all, I get: C:Documents and Settings\Jim Parrott>
That's all
 
enabled network adapter in Device Manager
Network adapter is connected and enabled in VM configuration

Ran "ipconfig /all" again - result :

Still not able to get Explore to connect but the Parallels Internet Security is able to connect and download updates - strange unless it's working through the Mac
 
On a whim, I went in and removed the dialup accesses and enabled the network access - what do you know - Explorer is now working inside Window VM - many thanks - your questions and instructions were part of what lead me to do what I did.
