    Hi everyone, i have a Intel iMac with an ADSL conection via ethernet, i have installed Parallels with Windows XP, it works great, but i dont know how to get online, can someone please explain me how to, in a very beginer way, coz im not expert.

    On the OS X side:
    Open system preferences-->Sharing->click on internet tab
    Share your connection from: select Built in ethernet
    To computers using Select Airport
    Click on Services tab
    make sure "Personal Web Sharing " is checked
    Click on firewall tab
    if firewall is running, make sure box next to Personal web sharing is on

    close system preferences.

    Open parallels workstation
    In the configuration panel, ie before you run the VM, click on Network Adapter
    Check both boxes under device status
    Select Bridged Ethernet
    select Airport connection (en1)<-- this is on MBP, iMac should be similar
    Boot your VM and voila. :) :)

    Your VM is connecting to airport on the mac which connects it to built in ethernet
    This works on an MBP even if Airport is off in the menuBar

    Thanks, this helped me. I don't use Airport, so used the default adapter instead of the en1. Also you have to actually *start* web sharing by clicking the start button in addition to the clear step by step instructions given by Mike.
