I run Direcway Satellite Broadband software on Xp with Parallels 3188 successfully. But I cannot get the Mac access the net. Both Parallel Net and Parallel Host sharing are active and have an IP address. I am connected via the modem now so can't give you any other information. When I am connected Via Windows I think Parallels Net says it is connected to the net. I would rather be a farmer then a computer tech. Cows are easier to understand....
