I upgraded to build 5608 and now I'm unable to access other network shares from XP/Vista machines on my network via the Parallels Windows XP installation. I could before I upgraded to build 5608. Any ideas? I am able to access my home directory on my iMac via my Parallels Windows XP installation.
I am able to ping my other computer from both Windows XP Pro running in Parallels and OSX. However, when I'm in Windows and open up Network Places my wife's computer does not show up. I did make sure that in both Windows and OSX the workgroup is the same as my wife's computer. This is a strange problem...
I booted to Windows XP via Bootcamp and was able to access my wife's shared folders. This told me it was definitely an OSX issue. I rebooted to OSX and checked the Mac's firewall settings (they were good). I then checked the Mac's file sharing and noticed it was off. I enabled file sharing for the Mac and am now able to access my wife's shared folders from Windows XP via Parallels. Thank you for your help and suggestions. They pointed me in the right direction to resolve my issue.
