Dr. Hurt Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Nope, there is no way to loop back your internet from windows in parallels to OS X. However, if you provide us with information about your wireless card maybe someone can help you get it working in os x natively.

mmk Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Actually you might do it (if Parallels is like VMWare in terms of networking). The idea is that you have 2 IPs (one is WinXP that works and one is from MacOS). SO you enable Internet Connection Sharing from XP or install something like WinProxy. Then you configure your MacOS (ifconfig & route) to have the XP IP as router... and thats it Sorry if it's a little blurry, but Im dead tired ...

Rammjet Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 If it is working in Parallels, then it must be able to work in OSX. Parallels doesn't have any wireless drivers. It just sets up a simulated ethernet connection to OSX and uses whatever wireless connection OSX has through NAT.
