Remote Desktop Connecting to a Parallels VM

Okay so I don't know how out there this is but I'm really just curious to know if this actually works.

So I have a Windows 10 Pro Desktop (Gaming PC) and a MacBook Pro 2015 running a Windows 10 Home Parallels Virtual Machine. I'm wanting to use the Remote Desktop app available in Windows 10 to connect from the Gaming PC to the Windows 10 PVM.

I've been trying to connect to the PVM using it's Internal IP address. Every time I start the connection, I get this message:

Inversely, I've connected to the gaming PC from the PVM, so I know that one direction works. But I'm stumped on why the Remote Desktop app on the Gaming PC is unable to find the Virtual Machine on the network when the Gaming PC's network folder shows the PVM.

Anyone got any ideas? Feel free to ask about anything else that could be helpful to get this working. Again this is mostly just out of curiosity.
 
I have tried this configuration. The same result occurs.
I have also noticed that my router's config page is unable to identify both the Macbook Pro and the PVM at the same time. Rather, it only displays one or the other, but not both on the Attached Devices page.

In the above image it is currently displaying the PVM but not the Mabook Pro (The unknown device above it is my phone, and the other unknown device is currently unknown to me as well however the MacBook is indeed connected to the 5GHz band)
 
Hey @PabloY
Did you check the IP configuration on both the Machines. Is DNS server and DHCP server on the virtual machine is same as your Windows 10 pro? The computers must be connected with the same network and check the DHCP and server both the machines, only then you can establish a connection via Remote Desktop connection.
