    Hello,

    We are currently running three Mac's with Parallels - two have Windows 7 Pro and the third has Windows 10 on it (but can be downgraded to Windows 7 so they all run the same Windows OS).

    We are using freight programs on the Windows environment and the only way to get these to run on multiple machines is to have them all networked in the Windows environment so that each Windows shell can see a particular machine's C drive.

    Whenever we connect to each computer through OS X's networking software, the Macintosh HD loads as a mapped drive in Windows but there appears to be no way to get the C drive in the Windows environment to be viewed between computers to map a network drive to. I have set all Sharing modes to be fully shareable between all computers in both the Windows and Mac environment and just no joy.

    How do you view another networked computer's C drive in Windows?
     
  2. Hi HagueH. Shut down the virtual machine by selecting Actions (from the Mac menu bar) -> Shut down. Then refer this article to change the network source to 'Default Adapter' on all the virtual machines and check whether you are able to view the other Windows virtual machines on the network.
    Note: All the Mac computers should be connected to the same network.
