    I have installed the new version of parallels and I am having trouble getting internet connection sharing working with a wireless connection for the host.

    Host OS: Windows Vista Ultimate
    Guest OS: Windows XP Pro

    If I am connected through the ethernet connection everything works fine, but if I am connected with a wireless connection I get not internet in the guest.

    I have read all the posts and it seems for some it works and others it does not. Can anyone give me any suggestions.

    Wireless Internet Connection

    In the VM, click on the network adapter, from the drop down box select your wireless connection. That is all that I had to do in version 2.2. So make sure that you have installed 2.2 first.

    I also was losing my wireless connection randomly in the VM. I fixed that by overriding the VM Mac address with the actual Mac address of the wireless adapter. So, when I'm in Linux, the wireless works just as fast as in XP. The only draw back is that the XP host connection will not work until I exit the VM.
