Drats. Foiled.
I’m sitting at a Starbucks waiting for my car’s oil to be changed at a nearby service center. I just bought a Day Pass and I’m sitting down to enjoy my cup of coffee and get some work done. I log onto the wireless, boot Windows in Parallels, open up my VPN. And then. I realize the problem.
When you log on to your T-Mobile account your computer’s MAC address probably gets sent over to the access point and T-Mobile associates an IP with that address. That’s fine. But if you run Parallels then that appears to T-Mobile to be a different machine and it won’t give you a second IP address. So, unless I can figure out a way to bridge IP traffic then it’ll be impossible to get my Windows portion online.
