    On my MacBook Pro, I still can't get bridged networking to work with Airport/wifi - now on beta 4.

    Wired ethernet bridging does work on my intel-based iMac, though (haven't tried on the MacBook).

    When will "wifi networking fixed" mean that? :)

    Otherwise, superb program... unfortunately it is useless to me on my MacBook Pro due to no networking (I only have wifi where I use the laptop.)

    Dual monitor support means that you could have fullscreen guest OS on the 1-st monitor and your primary Mac OS X on the 2-nd.

    I am hoping for better DHCP support in beta 4.

    I have made posts to other threads, and submitted problem reports to Parallels, regarding network access problems when a Windows XP VM is suspended and then resumed while bridging to en1 (wireless) and using DHCP inside the VM. I can see an issue when the computer is moved to a different DHCP situation (office setup and home setup) -- you almost have to use some mechanism in the running guest OS to refresh the DHCP records for the guest.

    But when you are in a single location, and all you do is suspend and resume the guest, I am not sure why DHCP needs to be re-freshed.

    Hoping for an improvement in beta 4.

    Fullscreen is nice, but . . .

    Fullscreen is nice, but it resizes and moves many windows on my Mac desktop.

    Looking Great though! I waited for something like this before buying a MacBook and I really like it.:)

    I had this problem, too. To fix it, I had to edit the configuration, choose the Network Adapter, then choose 'en1:Airport/Wireless Adapter' in the drop down menu under emulation.

    Hope that helps.
