Can't start the internet through VM

So I am not very good with computers in general, but have thus far been able to successfully install parallels and run XP and a few other things, but I can't access the internet. I have a new Mac Book and am running the most recent update of parallels. The internet works through my MacOS, I have the VM set to run bridged ethernet, but have a limited or no connectivity message. I am currently accessing wireless through a college network, because I lost the WEP key for my broadband network which my roommates friend set up last year (so if anyone more computer savy has any info on that it would be pretty awesome as well). Any suggestions on what to do to get some sort of internet access through parallels would be appreciated although it might have to be dumbed down for me to understand

 

Select "Shared Networking" and you should be able to access the Internet through your VM.

 

Hello neumy573,

Please check:
1. Are Parallels Tools in guest OS installed?
2. And check your network settings in VM config
