Has anyone got networking functional on parallels with Vista? everything seems to be fully functional for me except networking. Do I have to install drivers?

Also the shared folder doesn't seem to be working... but that's to be expected as Vista is still experimental within parallels.

Yes, you need drivers so the OS can see the network adapters. Installing the latest Boot Camp drivers should work fine.

The shared folder bit for Parallels requires some setup. Read Parallels' help for instructions-it's pretty simple.
