Windows - Connecting to the internet with Parallels 4.0

I'm running windows XP on my iMac via parallels 4.0, but I'm unable to connect to my houses wireless internet. What is the process to get the windows portion online?

This might just be a basic windows question (since I'm completely unfamiliar with windows) but I could use some help either way.

The computer is an Intel Core 2 Duo iMac running OSX 10.5.5

My internet is not from airport, but from a Freebox. It's a french company, but I think it's the same as Linksys? in the states. It's just a wi fi transmitter.

Thanks!

If it's a Livebox, try to get online with your computer (as if it all worked normally) and then press the buttons on the Livebox marked either 1 or 2 (I can't remember which).

IF this is the problem, then your computer will renegotiate it's connection with the router.

You might also try disabling the security/encryption on your wireless and try that first. Sometimes the encryption gets in the way under Windows.
