10.4: Access localhost via name from Parallels Desktop Authored by: vocaro on Jul 17, '07 09:51:12AM Go to System Preferences on your Mac and click the Sharing icon, then switch to the Services tab. Parallels Desktop for Mac offers two very different value propositions. On one hand, the application offers support for legacy apps that just can’t, won’t or simply don’t migrate to a modern.

• The fix described below is for Parallels Desktop for Mac running Windows. When running an operating system inside Parallel Desktops, installing certain software can break the network connection. The fix described below is for Parallels Desktop for Mac running Windows XP.
• Your Mac and Parallels Desktop virtual machine are no exception! There are several network modes in Parallels Desktop which we covered is one of the past blog s: Bridged, Shared and Host Only network. Let’s summarize the purpose of each in brief: With Shared mode, we use the Mac connection to connect to the external network.

I have the Parallels act as a seperate identity on the network, installed Bonjour for Windows and now I can access my mac by using the Bonjour (Rendezvous) name.

I also got around this exact same issue using Bonjour for Windows.. easy to install, requires no network config change, works a charm

In /dev/null, no one can hear you scream

same here, gotta love that 'it just works' feeling in a windoze OS!!

Looks like some backslashes got eaten in the path to the hosts file:
C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts
Being a UNIX bigot, I've always found the /etc/hosts file in Windows funny. :)

Alternately, if you're using shared networking, look at the IP address of Parallels NAT (usually en3) and use that IP address for the hosts file. I'm running Ubuntu linux in a VM and I added the following to my /etc/hosts file:
10.211.55.2 realhost

I installed bonjour and want to access my rails server (localhost:3000 on my mac). Doesn't seem to work.. Any ideas?

Instead of trying to access it via localhost:3000 try using
COMPUTERNAME.local:3000
where COMPUTERNAME is the name of your machine.

Go to System Preferences on your Mac and click the Sharing icon, then switch to the Services tab. You will see a message saying, 'Other computers on your local subnet can access your computer at ..' followed by a name ending with '.local'. Use this name, followed by ':3000', to access your local Rails server.

Hello,
Has anyone had any luck getting this to work with 10.5? I'm a bit lost as to what to do.
Thanks so much!

I accessed my local web server by typing my Macbook's IP address in the address bar, on my Parallels browser. E.g. 192.168.0.2/site1. Using Shared Networking.

I develop lots of websites on a virtual server on my Mac. I have a hosts file configured to interpret lots of different domains locally, e.g.,
127.0.0.1 mydomain.local
127.0.0.1 my-other-domain.local
etc.,
etc.,
I wanted IE within Parralels to also interpret these, but it does not recoginize localhost, or 127.0.0.1 the same.
But thanks to a few suggestions here, I figured it out.
To quote the other nice person,
'Go to System Preferences on your Mac and click the Sharing icon, then switch to the Services tab.

Use this name, followed by ':3000', to access your local Rails server.'
In other words, find out what your computer is called on the network. Let's say it was mymac.local
Then, I found out what IP address the virtual Windows thinks mymac.local resolves to. It gave me some other IP address.
Then, I took all of the lines in my hosts file on my Mac, and copied them into a new file, and did a search and replace on the normal localhost IP of 127.0.0.1, with that new IP.
Then, I opened up C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts, and added those lines to it.
It works. Yay!

Important pre-step (also from the above other contributions):
You must first install Bonjour for Windows (http://support.apple.com/downloads/Bonjour_for_Windows) from within the Windows instance.

I'm using Parallels for running windows 8. My question is: In windows 8, the network icon always shows ethernet although I have selected Wi-Fi network in the settings. If my mac is connected to internet, my windows will connect normally.

My question is: How can I make windows 8 see list of Wi-Fi? And my windows 8 can select a Wi-Fi to connect.

Parallels like other virtualization software for Macs uses a virtualized hardware layer. This layer doesn't have direct access to the real hardware (Type-2 Hypervisor). This includes the Wi-Fi-interface.

Instead software ethernet bridges are used to access the hardware indirectly. That's the reason for the network interfaces of the Mac (e.g. en0: ethernet, en1: wifi) showing up as ethernet interfaces in the virtual machines.

Macbook Won T Connect To Internet

Consequently Windows 8 or any other OS running in a VM on a Mac can't show and access any Mac internal Wi-Fi in their network settings.

There might be one exception:

Can't Connect Mac To Wifi

USB-Wi-Fi sticks directly attached to the virtual machine. I can't verify that since i don't have such a stick. Hint
