I have had Windows XP on my Intel iMac in two ways: through Parallels 
and through VMWare Fusion. On my earlier G5, I had Virtual PC.  My 
computers are always connected wirelessly to our home network. In all 
cases, local networking and web access have been seamless, just 
automatic.  I don't recall Parallels, but VMWare Fusion actively 
offers to hook up my iSight camera. It's a very good deal. I wish I 
had bought it when it was $40 (half price).
