Yes it should work out of the box, because Windows running on  
Parallels and your Mac OS X should have two different IP addresses.    
Just goto the particular ip address from within IE.

If you need to know your IP address on the Mac side you can run ''/ 
sbin/ifconfig'' from a Terminal session.  They''re might be an
easier
way to figure out the IP address, but this works.

cheers,

scott

Thanks, Scott!

Sorry I don''t know a thing about networking...
in ''ifconfig''s output I found a address beginning with
''127'' which
worked on my mac, but not on Windows. I can connect to the internet in 
Windows OK.

Are there any networking settings that I need to tweak in order for this 
to work?

Great, I got it to work! Now I can test my local Rails apps from 
Browsers running in Parallels! Here is what I did to find the IP address 
that works from Parallels:

In the ''Info'' tab of Apple''s ''Network
Utility'' there is a popup listing
different network interfaces. I just tried the IP address of each of 
those until one or them worked (Network Interface en1)
