    I'm on a 13" MBP running Snow Leopard. I installed Parallels and Windows XP, but there's no Internet connectivity. I went to the Network Connections in the Control Panel of Windows and all it lists is Local Area Connection - Limited or No Connectivity. I have installed Parallel Tools and still nothing.

    Please advise. Thank you in advance for any and all help.

    Something I noticed, not sure if it's relevant. Recently I keep getting errord messages on all computers(PC and 2 Macbooks) that the IP addresses are conflicting, but everything still seems to work. The reason I mention this is because I ran the diagnostic offered by Windows for the Internet Connections and it says it's unable to renew the IP address. Maybe some setting in for the router isn't assigning IPs correctly? Just my two cents. Please advise.

    Edit: I just now noticed that the Local Area Connection icon in my notification area of the task bar(where the time is). It has a little yellow exclamation on it. So I clicked on it and it gave me Local Area Connection Status. It says Status: Limited or no connectivity, and in the packets area it says 60 sent, 0 received.

    Hope it helps.
