Parallels 5 and DHCP and my wireless router

Is there a way to get Parallels to dynamically accept a DHCP address from my wireless router? Currently Parallels is dealing numbers which is screwing with the connections I'm trying to make to other computers on my network.

I can get the MAC to accept an address from my router but not Parallels. I've found a work around where I set the address range in the Parallels network page to a small subset of what the wireless router is dealing but it's flaky at best.

Thanks!

Actually, these settings are for the SharedNetworking and don't affect AirPort at all. You should try to select "Bridged" networking to Airport. May be you will need to enable "Use DHCP Host Mac Address" setting at the VM Configuration -> Network.

I'd recommend to go to Paralels Desktop Preferences -> Networking and press "Restore Defaults" button. Changing these parameters is only required for very few number of cases
