    Hi there.

    I can't seem to set up wireless internet through Mac OS X Airport on the windows side of paralells.

    I am running Tiger 10.4.7 on a MacBook with 1GB RAM and set my VM memory to 256.

    I set "Bridged Ethernet; en1: AirPort/Wireless Adapter" on the VM and when I try to crete a connection in windows it will not work.

    All of this reminds me why I switched....

    Any ideas??

    There's been a fair amount of discussion about this, which you can find by searching the forums. You need to have a DHCP server in your access point or router, and you may need to set a MAC address for your VM. Some DHCP servers won't play with the bridged arrangement, and if that's your problem, you will need a different router, or to use host only networking. Unfortunately, it doesn't "just work".
