Mac -> Windows network not responding

Hi,

I've installed Parallels Desktop for Mac 3.0 build 5882. After installing Windows XP and Parallels Tools, I'm able to ping, open connections from my Guest OS to my Mac, but if I try to ping my Guest OS (or connect to some TCP port) it doesn't work.

I'm using Host-only network, but I've also tried with Shared Network. I've read the FAQ and searched through the KB, but I haven't found any useful information. I've dropped all ipfw rules and Parallels configures the routing normally.

I've noticed that I cannot access the Windows Firewall settings, it says there are some issues with WMI that requires a system restore. Is it something related to Parallels Network Adapter?

One more thing, I've installed WinDump (tcpdump for Windows :P), I can see the packets coming from the Parallels Network Card, but Windows doesn't even send a response. The same happens with a ping request. I can ping and access services from my Mac on Windows (both with Host-only and Shared Network).

Cheers,
Josias
