Hello,
I'm running Xp on parallels..
I know how to open ports for my leopard os in my router page..

But i need to know how can i open ports for a P2P client installed o parallels virtual machine..
What ip do i put in the router page?
i ran execute>cmd>ipconfig but the IP adress is the one from the bridge connection..
how do i open a port then?
 
Hi,
If you are using "Bridged Networking", then the procedure of port-opening doesn't differ from the procedure for your MAC.

In case of Shared Networking:
1) open the port on router for the IP-address of your Mac.
2) Write-down somewhere the IP-address of the virtual machine (it should be something like 10.211.55.3)
3) Open the menu "Parallels Desktop"->Network and add Port Forwarding of the required port to the IP-address of the VM. e.g. if you want to open the TCP port 80 and VM-IP is 10.211.55.3, incoming port should be 80, IP-address should be 10.211.55.3, Destination port 80. This configuration will make that all connections to the port 80 to your Mac will be redirected to the VM's port 80

Hi, Just want you to know i spent 20 mins on phone with Parallels tech support (india) an hour with BT home hub support (india) 15 mins with Apple support ..all of them couldnt tell me the sumple instructions you highlighted here... did exactly what you said ..even the IP address was the same and hey presto my game hosting burst into life ...
