    I've installed Parallels Desktop (5608) with Windows XP Home, but Windows does not detect the internet settings and other hardware settings from my mac. Can anyone help me solving this problem? (I've tryed to use the drivers for Windows but it only works when I install Windows with Bootcamp).

    Thanks!

    Hardware settings will not be detected as VM used it's own hardware , as for internet connection, some additional details will be appreciated
    As
    ifconfig -a
    from Terminal in Applications/Utilities on Mac
    ipconfig /all
    from Windows
    Start -Run - cmd

    It looks correct, it seems to be antivirus prevents internet connection,
    Download Firefox from mac OS side and install on Windows, check can you access internet

    Antivirus

    John,

    I have not installed antivirus yet... How can this block the internet connection? Or is it windows itself (I have received pop-ups that my system has a security risk - no antivirus) that blocks the connection?

    Firefox doesn't help

    John,

    I've installed Firefox and I still don't have no internet connection.

    What can we try else?
