    I can't figure out how to share my MacBook Pro's connection to the internet (Cable to Airport Extreme BaseStation to Airport Card) to my Parallels Workstation, running Windows XP Pro. The only instructions I see are for sharing Built In Ethernet. Could someone point me in the right direction? Sorry to be such a n00b.

    So your internet connection comes through the Airport card? Try configuring the Network Adapter setting in the VM to have 'Bridged Ethernet' and manually selecting en1 if default adapter doesn't work. I'm assuming you're using beta6 of PW.

    In PW, there is a setting under Network that allows you to choose the adapter, Make sure it connects to the wireless adapter. That should do it -- you DON'T need to tell Windows you have a wireless network.
