Some things to try...
Use Shared Networking
Before loading the XP Virtual Machine, configure your Network Adapter to used Shared Networking. This is faux-networking as essentially, all traffic is passed from Parallels through the Mac network connection. It works, but sometimes you need real networking.
Use Host Only Networking
Host Only networking allows Windows to not seek an external network access point. Instead, combined with the Mac internet connection sharing, you can achieve the desired result.
From the Finder, choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Under the Internet & Network sub-heading, click on Sharing.
Under the Firewall sub-tab, either disable the firewall altogether or allow “Personal Web Sharing”.
Under the Internet sub-tab, choose AirPort from the Share Your Connections From dropdown.
Check only Ethernet Adapter (en2) in the selection box. This will allow only your Virtual Machine to connect via (virtual) ethernet to the Mac subsytem. The click Start.
You should now have a pure networking environment inside the Windows XP Virtual Machine.
Try setting the adapter to 'Default Adapter'.
Turn off/disable any Windows® Firewall.
