[X4U] Parallels "XP" -- no network

[Graham]

Marc,

I have had a problem similar to this on our work 
based Macs, but they have 2 real network 
interfaces, so the issue maybe different. What 
does the Mac network preferences say? Our problem 
was that the 'Parallels NAT' and 'Parallels 
Host-Guest' prefs where mis-configured, a restart 
of the machine cured it. My home based personal 
laptop works fine wired and wireless, I will check 
to see what the prefs say. Also what does the 
Parallels VM setup say for network?

Graham.

Was able to get XP running on my Macbook by using 
a fresh Virtual PC
Windows XP document on my AL PB as the target OS 
install file for
Parallels.

So XP is running but I have no internet access! IE 
in XP reports
cannot find server. No matter what I do, in 
Internet options >
connections > setup I get no connection. Whether 
it's a simple
"connect to the internet," or "set up a home or 
small office network"
No joy. It seems to go through the motions of 
joining a network, but
still no connection.

In the device manager, XP says Parallels Network 
Adapter is installed
but may not work correctly.

The device cannot start (code 10).

However I"m using Airport extreme and I don't know 
if it's referring
to that or to an ethernet adapter.

XP was getting internet access when installed via 
VPC on my AL PB.

I'm running OS 10.5.3, Parallels 3.0 (build 5600). 
What's the trick
to getting a network connection?
