IIS and OSX integration

Hello, I'm running Parallels 8 on my macbook pro. It has windows 7 loaded with IIS 7.5. I want to configure a site in IIS that points to files on my Macbook Pro's hard drive. I have setup a site in IIS and in the basic settings dialog box I have the path in there like "\\psf\Host\...". I have tried various combinations in the connect as dialog and nothing seems to work. I can access the default IIS website from my mac and I can also view the files from the VM using the \\psf\Host\... path. What am I missing? The error under the test settings dialog is: The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that \$ has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again. How can I verify that the "application pool identity has Read access to the physical path"?

I posted this in the guest OS forum and got no response so I'm trying here.

Thanks in advance.

your best bet is going to be changing the identity your app pool runs under. by default it's a local system account, which has no permissions on your mac.

change the identity to be your account and you should be okay, but it might affect impersonation (in ACLS) if you use it.
