Networking in Windows 95

I can get Windows 95 installed and working in Parallels without a problem, but when it comes to getting networking going I'm lost. I've tried installing the Realtek driver off the Parallels Tools .iso but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
 
Please follow the instraction:
1. Open Configuration Editor for your VM by clicking "Edit" button in Parallels window when you have VM selected but not running.
2. Select "Network Adapter" from the list on the left side.
3. Set your VM to "Host-Only" networking (mind that "Enabled" and "Connect cable at startup" settings should be checked too).
4. Go to Mac OS X "System Preferences" - "Sharing" - "Internet".
5. Set "Share your connection from" to your Internet connection interface.
6. Enable "Parallels Host-Guest Adapter" (also may be called "EthernetAdaptor (en2)") in "To computers using" list.
7. Press "Start" button. If you have Mac Firewall running, you need to check "Personal Web Sharing" in the list of allowed services (or just disable the Firewall).
8. Check your VM's Internet connection. You may need to reboot your Mac for this to work.
 
Why doesn't the provided Realtek driver work? When I try to install it Windows says that the Parallels installer package is missing several components. This obviously is not a problem with anything on the MacOS side.
