I have Windows 7 Home Premium running on my 6-week-old MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.4) and all the Parallels 5.0 and Kaspersky updates. I have Verizon's Wi-Fi Connect software for W7 installed which is supposed to automatically detect available networks and offer to connect me to them but the pop-up message in the tool tray never gets past "scanning for networks". I have no problem connecting to wi-fi networks on the Mac side but Verizon's Wi-Fi Connect software is presently Windows-only and is needed to authenticate and connect to networks available to me as a Verizon customer. Is there some setting in Windows 7 I've got to adjust? I've got Sharing selected in the Networks part of Configuration.
Followup A friend of a friend works somewhere in Verizon IT and came up with this from Google: here is a solution somebody gave The same thing happened to me, and I went into the Network Preferences in my mac, got the IP address from Airport > Advanced > TCP/IP and then I went into my Parallel - Guest internet setting, changed the configure to Using DHCP with manual address, and entered the Airport IP address there. I searched for my IP address but there was none, perhaps because my laptop was at home and connected via an Ethernet cable (I don't have a wireless network set up at home, even on the Mac side)
