    I have two Macs with Parallels installed upon each. I have shared a folder within Windows. Upon trying to see the folder from the Parallels on the other Mac, I cannot find the shared folder. I am also using a Windows 7 PC and cannot see the shared folder. I'm not much of a Mac or Parallels expert, so any help is appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Sam

    Hi Sam,
    Please change Network settings for Windows VM, Go to Virtual Machine Config > Hardware > Network > Change it to default adapter on both Macs. Restart Windows and check if the issue still persisting.

    the issue still persists. I'm also trying to see the Mac from my Windows 7 machine and do not see the shared folder as well.

    Hi Sam,
    Please Follow the steps suggested below:
    1. Find IP address for Windows Virtual machine on Mac 1.
    2. Find IP address for Windows Virtual machine on Mac 2.
    3. Go to Cmd and ping Windows Virtual machine on Mac 2 from Windows Virtual machine on Mac 1 using ip address. Please check the details.
    4. If you can ping Windows Virtual machine on Mac 2 from Windows Virtual machine on Mac 1 and vice versa, it both VM's are communicating.
    5. Follow the steps suggested at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/...ver-the-network-from-windows-vista-inside-out to Share files and folders over the network.
