    Hi,

    OK I upgraded my machine to one of the new Mac Minis. To transfer everything I did the following.
    1. Ran time machine.
    2. System updated after that.

    Now when I run parallels the windows guest runs fine except my OSX box cannot access any of the ports. I can do the following.
    - Access the machines drive via the drive on my desktop.
    - Access the OSX box from windows using the main IP address. (10.0.1.x)

    I have the port forwarding set up correctly (as before). When I try to connect to port 80 with a browser from OSX I get nothing. If I connect with a browser on the windows guest it connects fine.

    I have ruled out the firewall on guest and host. I have also ruled out the Anti-Virus software that comes with parallels. They are all fine.

    I have also reinstalled Paralells to see if that would fix it but it doesn't.

    Can someone help me with how I can solve this? Thanks.

    what is the output of the "ipconfig /all" in guest and what is the IP-address you are using to connect from Mac to Windows?

    I ended up deleting the VM and recreating from scratch.
