title: How to get the IP address used by a Parallels VM from the host?
body: <p>Parallels has a command line API which is documented <a href="http://www.parallels.com/fileadmin/parallels/documents/support/pdfm/Parallels_Command_Line_Reference_Guide.pdf">here</a></p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;prlctl list
  UUID                                    STATUS       IP_ADDR         NAME
  {ca50aac6-caa6-47a6-9bfe-e38f6261cb8d}  running      -               win7
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Still, even with this the IP_ADDR reported is always empty, even if the machine is running as has an internet connection.</p>
  
  <p>How can I find the IP of the machine from the guest? I need a way to connect to the guest, by using a domain name or an IP.</p>
