    Hi, i have a bit of a problem where i am connecting to the internet from my pc via a university network. As such, the network logs the individual MAC address of my computer and allows it to have access to the internet. I recently set up parallels with Windows XP SP3 and at first couldn't connect to the internet while in it so decided to have a closer look at the setup. I found that if i put in the MAC address of my computer into the configurations in parallel i was able to access the internet in WinXP however, no longer in OS X. I was wondering if there was a way to access the internet simultaneously in OS X and WinXP in parallels?

    I gather it's something to do with the inability to access the internet through the same MAC address??

    Thank you
