modes.
For details on configuring the host-only networking settings, refer to Host-Only Networking
Settings (p. 165).
For details on configuring the shared networking settings, refer to Shared Networking Settings (p.

a new virtual machine.
• Add an existing virtual machine. You will have to provide your administrator password to add
an existing virtual machine to the Parallels Virtual Machines list.

Speech
Parallels Desktop allows you to operate your virtual machine by using the speech commands. If you
want to do that, select Enable spoken commands and make sure that:
• the virtual machine window is active, and
• the speech settings are properly tuned on the corresponding tab of Mac OS X System
Preferences
If the speech settings are not tuned, you will see the 'To enable this option, you
should turn on speakable items in System Preferences' warning message. To
tune the speech settings, click System Preferences.
