Hi, For networking in parallels (guest os) there seem to be 2 options: 1) bridged (which I don't have a connection for) 2) host (which seems to only be for a connection to the host machine and not outside networking) I want my XP host (sorry for testing IE7 only you see) to use the FC6 connection. any ideas how? I saw this at http://news.softpedia.com/news/Share-the-Internet-connection-from-the-command-line-34834.shtml start------ For sharing the Internet connection, we'll use the iptables tool because it can be found in all Linux distributions of all sizes and shapes. If you just want to get the Internet connection up and running, enter this two lines in a terminal: echo “1” > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE End ------ but the echo command returns bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument I have vmware installed using NAT and the connection works fine so I am wondering how to set that up on the FC6 box so hopefully parallels would think it is a bridged connection.
