    I have a Windows 7 guest OS running under Parallels 5 on my Mac (latest build). In order for a particular application to work under the VM (IP softphone) I have to have networking in bridged mode. I'm wireless, so I choose the dropdown "AirPort" in the network settings for my VM. Shared or Host-Only networking will not work.

    In my office, it also will not work unless I check the option "Send the host's MAC address to DHCP server." When I do this, the VM connects and the IP softphone works great. However, my host OS (the Mac) no longer will connect to the network - only the guest OS is connected at this point.

    Is there something I can do so that this checkbox remains checked yet both my host and guest OS's remain connected to the network?
