I have update to parallels 5, and my guest OS is windows 7. My lan (bridged) work fine, but few days when click on computers lan icon, message error appears. The message is "endpoint format is invalid". In cmd windows if ping computer address number, host computer responds. Only way to access on lan computers is type address. Have someone any ideas? Ps: sorry for my bad english. thanks
maybe your DNS settings were lost? Try to do follow: 1. type Windows+R, specify as command cmd and press Enter 2. at command line perform command "nslookup www.parallels.com" and check result of host name processing

it's mean that you haven't DNS server configured and can access other computers just through direct IP addresses. Although maybe you have internal DNS server at your LAN which situated on 192.168.1.1 IP address - in this case you should contact with your LAN administrator and check problem with this server.
