    so i installed windows XP via parallels 7 on my new MBP. i also have windows on a mac mini via bootcamp. and my friend has windows laptop.

    Me and a friend are trying to play a computer game. (company of heroes). he has his own windows laptop. the mini and the windows laptop can play together fine over my wireless network. (wifi) we can see each others games and can join and play and all that.

    However on the MBP i cannot see any games from either of the other 2 computers. i think the issue is with parallels. Im pretty sure its because in the network connections of MBP there is no wireless or wifi setup or anything to view wireless networks. I'm guessing this is because the mac side is handling it, but i need it on the windows because thats how we could multiplayer. so something in settings of parallels or what? (and the internet of Windows DOES work!)

    First, can the Mac OS side of the MBP get to the Internet or the other machines? If not, that's the first thing you should check and fix.

    Next, in the VM, what is your network interface set to: shared or bridged networking? Either should work if the MBP's wireless works.
