Hi NewMac,
Thanks for the reply. Are you sure that fixed your problem? I did that and it didn't help. I tried many different ways as well. The only time I get the working IP is to uninstall Parallels then reinstall it again. In the Preferences->Network Parallels Guest has IP address 10.37.129.2 and Parallels->Nat has 10.211.55.2. In the VM(the XP guest) the adaptoer is Sheared and in XP, Network is set to use DHCP. Everything works fine. Then once reboot, I got this "Parallels NAT has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect" crap with some random IP.
I don't recall I had this problem when I was using the trial in OS X 10.8.10. That's why I bought it. I am going to ask Parallels for a refund today and get VMware Fusion instead.
