Does the Parallels virtualization software support wireless ethernet using Airport Extreme within a Windows XP Virtual Machine?

Surely someone must know the answer to this? I hate to bump a thread, but it's either that or reposting the exact same question. 😱 😉

Don't see why not. I did it in my parallels demo I set up with WinXP.

According to http://download.parallels.com/GA/Parallels_Desktop_for_Mac_User_Guide.pdf page 93 it supports Bridged networking. Select the adapter you want to bridge to Windows and it works.

Awesome, thanks! 🙂 Didn't see why it wouldn't, but thought it never hurts to ask...

Works fine for me with no special configuration at all 😀

Yeah, Parallels does seem like it's pretty sweet - I'm impressed. I think I'll be picking it up for my wife's new Merom MacBook when the time comes. 😉 😎
