Intermittent networking with XP

I am using Leopard 10.5.1 and Parallels 5584, using Shared Networking.

I never have a problem with networking on my Mac, but the XP VM networking is spotty. It will work for a while, and then the next time I restart it won't work at all - I'll see the tray icon with a yellow triangle and the message that networking is limited, etc.

I can sometimes get it to work by shutting down, restarting, cursing, whatever. But right now it's just not working at all.

The problem seems worse if I switch how I connect to the network - for example, if I go to an internet cafe and connect to their wireless hub, or if I use a wired ethernet connection at the office.

Please advise.
