10.4: Networking between a Parallels VM and OS X
Authored by: stewarsh on Aug 21, '07 09:27:18AM

You can also just use Bridged networking which will have Parallels pull an additional IP from your LAN's DHCP server that is separate from OS X, then you can simply use the IP assigned to your mac to connect.

If you require such connections frequently, and have control of your network(i.e. a home router) you can configure the router to always give the same IP OS X and Parallels via the MAC(media access controller) address. Then you always know what the IPs are(i.e. 192.168.1.1 for OS X and 1.2 for Windows).

10.4: Networking between a Parallels VM and OS X

I've been noticing some interesting issues with doing Bridged networking on a WPA network - occasionally, my MBP decides "the network has been compromised" and shuts down.

I'm fairly sure this has only happened when I've had one or other of the virtualisation products available running.
