iMac joining a Domain - do I need a 2nd NIC?

Our office all use a Windows based SQL database that resides on our server (SBS 2011), with one exception.
So to get give solitary Mac user access I installed Parallels and Win 7 x64.
The Mac is already joined to the domain for everyday use.

When I started to have problems joining the domain from Parallels/Win 7 it dawned on me that I might need an additional NIC. Is this the case? The user will have to be logged into the Domain from Windows in order to use the database.

Many thanks,

EH

p.s. Apologies if this question has been asked before but I couldn't see a search facility within this forum rather than the system as a whole.

 

No, you don't need another network card, set the VM to bridge networking.

 

Many thanks will try back at work on Monday - Ed

 

Work far too easily - why isn't all complex software this easy - many thanks.
