    I use a wireless broadband product called iBurst. This product is available in Australia and South Africa (it's a Kyocera technology) and works on Macs.

    It configures as a new ethernet adaptor (en3) as it utilises either a plug-in USB modem or as a PCMCIA card (on Powerbooks).

    Parallels can't get internet access when I have an iBurst connection running. Having read the networking FAQ, I believe that this would be because Parallels currently look only for built-in ethernet or Airport connections, and isn;t looking for an connection on another adaptor.

    Is there a way around this problem?:confused:

    You might try host only networking, and share your en3 connection with the Parallels NIC.

    Thanks very much for the suggestion. It works, akthough I suspect I will need to change the Parallels network settings when I am not using the iBurst connection.
