    MacBook, OS X 10.4.8, Parallels 3186, Windows XP Pro.

    When connected via ethernet, all is fine in both OSes.

    But when the MacBook is online via airport shared from a ethernet-connected mini, not all is OK in XP. The Internet browsers are fine, and the AVG anti virus does well, but Outlook Express doesn't connect, and the sync app SyncBack can't find its FTP server.

    Parallels is set to use Shared Networking. I've tried different approaches to internet sharing on the MacBook, sharing from airport to the different network adapters, I've tried to set up bridged networking, but to no avail.

    Are there limitations in Internet Sharing on the mini that is causing this misbehaviour?
