    I have to access a shared folder on another PC that is located on a home network, with a program that is running on Parallels 3.0 .
    How do I set up the network? Thru Windows XP on Parallels, or thru the Mac itself. The Mac is showing up on my network, but not the Windows XP PC that is running in Parallels.

    The easiest way that should work in every configuration, it is open the Windows Explorer (for example, by clicking "My Computer") and typing the name of the target PC preceeded with two slashes.

    E.g. if target PC is named RACOON, please type \\RACOON

    If the bridged networking is allowed by your home network policy (you are able to access the Internet while VM is started while network card is in the Bridged mode, e.g. you can open the www.google.com in this mode), then you should be able to browse network in this mode.
