Hi,

After a lot of trouble we got my gf's mac running with XP and connecting to their Cisco VPN solution.
She would like to go wireless now, where she have been using a cable until now.

The wireless networking is working fine in OSX. But the Cisco VPN connection box coming at XP boot before logon, says it can't find security gateway.
So my guess is that wireless isn't working under parallels.

How is wireless networking activated to run through parallels?

PS: My gf does not have administrator rights on the XP os...

Regards

I don't know about using the VPN, but you should probably set up Parallels networking into Bridged mode. That way, XP will have its own IP address, separate from the Mac side. You can select which adaptor you want to use (such as wireless).
