    I have a dual OS network, on one side an HP with Windows XP media and on the the other side a Powermac. Both the computers can see each other and access each other's files.

    I originally installed Parallels (Buiild 1940) on the Powermac with Windows XP Pro and I was able to at least open and access the Quickbooks file resident on the HP from the Windows XP VM on the Powermac. I upgraded my Parallels late last week and I am currently running Build 3214, however, I no longer can open up my Quickbooks file that resides on the HP and no matter what I tried I could not connect to the HP.

    I also have a Macbook Pro on which I am still running Parallels (Build 1940) with Windows XP Pro. The Mac side can be seen on the HP and Powermac and vice versa.

    I made sure that all the windows machines are in the same workgroup and I can see all the computers in the workgroup: Powermac,HP,Macbook Pro and the Virtual machine on the Powermac, but I can not connect to the VM on the Powermac nor the VM on the Macbook.

    I am struggling here, does anybody have any ideas or suggestions.

    Set your Network adapter to "Bridged Ethernet" and your ip address range in the same network with your other PCs and Macs...

    so you mean the default gateway should be the same on both machines? so that, for example, a machine may have an IP of 199.168.55.x and the other one should have something like 199.168.55.y?
