Hi, I'm using Parallels for Mac 4560, running Windows XP, on a MacBook Pro. When at home I connect through Cabel connection and VPN to my internet provider. I figured setting the VM to "shared networking" should be enough, as the NAT should forward traffic from the VM to the VPN. However, there is a problem. In Windows XP, I get DNS and I can ping properly, but no other communication works (explorer, messenger, etc...) I'm assuming that the NAT and shared networking is working on some level since the ping and DNS works, but I can't figure out what the problem is. My XP connection is set to do everything automatic. I tried playing with the MTU in the registry of XP (I saw someone mentioned it in a post on the forum), but that didn't help either. Here is a list of ifconfig: lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 gif0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280 stf0: flags=0<> mtu 1280 en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::21b:63ff:fe99:8e%en0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet 172.23.57.203 netmask 0xfffff800 broadcast 172.23.63.255 ether 00:1b:63:99:00:8e media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active supported media: autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,flow-control> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 100baseTX <full-duplex,flow-control> 1000baseT <full-duplex> 1000baseT <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control> none en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:1c:b3:b5:05:4b media: autoselect (<unknown type>) status: inactive supported media: autoselect wlt1: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1500 fw0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 4078 lladdr 00:1b:63:ff:fe:7c:e2:52 media: autoselect <full-duplex> status: inactive supported media: autoselect <full-duplex> en7: flags=8862<BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 54:55:43:44:52:00 media: autoselect status: inactive supported media: autoselect <full-duplex> Check Point Virtual Network Adapter en2: flags=8963<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::21c:42ff:fe00:0%en2 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x9 inet 10.37.129.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.37.129.255 ether 00:1c:42:00:00:00 media: autoselect status: active supported media: autoselect en3: flags=8963<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::21c:42ff:fe00:1%en3 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0xa inet 10.211.55.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.211.55.255 ether 00:1c:42:00:00:01 media: autoselect status: active supported media: autoselect ppp0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1448 inet 84.95.101.167 --> 212.199.5.234 netmask 0xff000000 Any help would be greatly appreciated Yaron Tadmor
