Parallels Desktop and Windows Domain

Ive installed Parallels 3 onto my MacBook and am now using Windows XP Pro.

Ive tried to join my Windows OS to my domain on our Windows 2003 Server but the computer cannot find the domain. I think its something to do with the network connection with the Mac preventing the outward connection.

Anyone know how to use a Windows Domain through Parallels 3?

PLease help

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.4), Parallels Desktop 3

I would suggest changing the network settings in parallels so that your virtual host is getting an IP address straight from your companies DHCP server.

Dont use shared networking but bridged networking.

When you say change the network settings in Parallels, do you mean the TCP/IP settings in Windows?

Got it, problem solved. Bridge directly in Parallels program.
