Hi, I understand that this issue has been beaten to a million times on this forum. However, inspite of exhaustive search, I could not find an understandable solution. So, please bear this n+1 th post on this topic. Let me state it upfront that I am not very familiar with computers. I will greatly appreciate any suggestions. My problem is below: I have XP SP 2 running on Parallels in 10.4.7. At home I have DHCP. With the help of the material found in this forum, I am able to connect to internet on my guest OS via DHCP. At office I have a static IP address. I cannot get another static IP address for my guest OS. Given these conditions, How can I connect to internet on my guest OS. Thanks. Murali
