How to setup HFS with Parallels.

[atmhobby]

Software installs with no problems on Parallels, but I can not connect to the HFS.  I have a macbook pro with snow leopard. and when I am on the browser both platforms have the same IP address, but the Parallels side does nto share the same LAN ip address, Does anyone know how i can set this up?  thanks.

I'm not sure about what you mean or want.

I supose that you run a parallels virtual windows machine on your mac with snow leopard. A virtual machine in a lan is the same thing as a real machine, therefore they do not and cannot share the same LAN ip - and there is no need to do it!

To set up your HFS you have to follow the same steps as in any windows computer. See wiki and look at some posts where people already asked how to get hfs working (for example: http://www.rejetto.com/forum/index.php?topic=7615.msg1046580#msg1046580)

it's quite strange that you have same IP for both machines, but i don't know Parallels.

first test should be:
click on the home/root in HFS,
and then click "open in browser".
You should pass this step, or stop and report any problem.

second test:
open a browser on the mac side (safari?) and go to the same address you see open in the "windows side browser".

third test:
go to hfs > menu > self test

I have HFS setup on my other PCs, and for my parellels setup, it is definitely not the same steps to get it ready on my macbook.  I want to be able to put my files into HFS from my mac.

what are the results of the tests i suggested?

Hello, I was able to go to the browser view on the PC side from within HFS, but on the Mac side it would nto open the page.  When I do the self test, it reads that I should make sure I have the right port setup on the router.  I checked the router and i have everything setup correctly,  I must be missing something.

I checked my local ip on the pc side and it is10.211.55...., but all my other addresses or 10.0.1....  I can not enter a 10.211 number on my rotuer, do you knwo if the router only sees one computer when or does it see the PC and MAC side independently?

Thx

Virtualization implies virtual network adapters to. Your mac probably has a real network adapter and one or more virtual network adapters (seen from mac-os), and the virtual machines are connected through a virtual network adapter to the mac os.
If in your virtual windows machine you use dhcp, probably it will get an address of the virtual network address range, but you can assign from windows in the vm an address in the range of the lan. That means, that if your lan has computers with adresses 10.0.1.nn, you should try to assign in the virtual windows machine an address like 10.0.1.55 (any not used number).
Once your internet-applications are working with this address, then set up your port in the router to this ip.

Not sure it's the same with mac, but works this way using virtual machines on other systems.

so, they have not the same address.
then, when you go to the mac side browser, and enter the address you saw on the pc side (as i told on the "second test"), you should replace the "localhost" that's in the address, with the PC address you said ("10.211.55...").
this may work.

there are basicly 2 ways for parallels to handle the network, one is called "bridge" and the other "nat".
i know very little the first, so can't say about it.
if it's NATting, it means Parallels is actually acting as a virtual router. Thus, when HFS says you should configure your router, in this case, it's talking about Parallels.
Can't be sure.

I found preferences for parallels that allow for the computer to have separate IP addresses.  everything worked after that!
