Ok, so I have a laptop running windows xp (connected directly to a router) and a macbook pro running parallels 3.0 (connected wireless)

What do I need to setup so I can use parallels to access the shared files on the laptop? I can access it fine using mac os, just can't seem to get it working within parallels.

Thanks!

Can you ping your Windows laptop from within Parallels? Other than that, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Yup, with bridged networking, the XP vm within Parallels should be within the same broadcast domain as the remote xp host.
