    Since two weeks, PIS don't update is databases anymore. Message is :

    "Error connecting to update source"

    The update process try to connect to : http://updates.pis.parallels.com/

    VM is under Windows XP SP3 - and is accessing internet without trouble.

    It is ok, for now look Virtual Machine for software which may block connection
    For example Zone Alarm, any other security software

    In PIS, try going into settings>update>settings>update source>proxy server and uncheck use proxy server. This fixed my database update problems.
