[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 828084, member: 89124"] With regard to bridging your connection onto a wifi adapter, that I'm not sure of - I've always bridged over to a wired ethernet. I assume that with the bridge on wifi, it will still depend on the Apple making the wifi connection, then on the parallels, it makes it look like a wired ethernet. Try setting a manual IP rather then getting a DHCP assigned address and see if you can access the network that way. Also make sure you've bridged to the correct interface on your mac (ie: you're not bridging to the ethernet interface). If you can't get the bridging to work, you may have to let them host a game and then in your game lobby (I've never played DoW multiplayer) you might see if you can specify the server ip address and key in their address and see if you can access the server that way. I'm pretty sure you should be able to get the bridging to work. I want to say I had it working on my fusion (granted, I know it's different then parallels, but I don't see a reason why it wouldn't necessarily work) when I was first setting up my mac and was getting everything in place before taking down my old system (I had created a vm from my old system and transfered it and tested it before decommissioning my old computer). Try setting a manual IP address, and make sure you're bridged to the proper device on your mac and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
