    Could you review this case I wrote up for StackExchange?
    http://superuser.com/questions/5317...ls-8-with-coherence-under-a-mac/531750#531750

    I use Parallels 8 with Windows XP 64-bit, and during the installation I opted for the option to have mac-like windows for applications (is this "Coherence"?).

    However, now I am confused how to do the following: log in to a site in explorer and let it open a Java VPN channel, which then would allow a Remote Desktop Connection client to connect to the remote site via this tunnel. I can fire up IE, but how would the RDC know about the tunnel?

    Or would my whole mac's traffic routed through the VPN now?

    If I should go back to non-mac-like interface, how can I do that without reinstalling?

    In any case, and most importantly for now, the Java pop-up window opens, but the VPN connection is not established. As it is only supposed to work in IE, I don't have much room to experiment whether my browser is somehow "broken" (old, locked down etc.) or 64-bit WinXP breaks the website's code or only Parallels simply does not allow such VPN opened up within the VM by a browser. Any thoughts on these possibilities? And on how to proceed?
