    I have a 3G USB Modem that only has windows drivers and a macbook pro running parallels 3.0 build 5584. So when i plug the 3G modem in, and connect using the windows app, i have complete internet access, but only in windows. Is there a way to share this internet connection back across parallels over to the mac side?

    Yes, actually it is possible
    See steps bellow:
    1. Set VM networking to Host only
    2. in System Preferences - Network change Parallels Hos-Guest interface from DHCP to manual, assign following values
    Ip 192.168.0.2
    subnet 255.255.255.0
    Gateway: 192.168.0.1
    DNS server 192.168.0.1

    In Windows enable Internet Connection Share for modem connection, and allow network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection
    Select Parallels Network Adapter
    Click OK
