    Windows 7 Networking
    I just installed Parallels 5+Windows 7 ultimate on my Macbook Pro. Windows 7 keeps saying that it needs drivers for the network to connect. Any ideas as I cant connect to get the drivers. I'm using airport to connect and it works fine on the mac side but it wont connect on the win 7 side. I've tried doing all the things listed in the parallels help documentation re: configuring my network adapter using "bridging" , "shared networking", and "host only networking". I get the same error message with each configuration, telling me I need the device drivers.

    Any suggestions?

    Likely you need to install Parallels Tools (menu "Virtual machine" -> "Install Parallels Tools")

    Thanks!

    I installed "tools" and that did the trick. I didn't realize there was a separate install. Thanks.
