Lion Server Open Directory Logon Problems

hi guys,
got myself mac mini , installed lion server have play about. seem having issue logging onto server using open directory account. each time try , logon says can't because error has occurred. ***please note*** vm version of lion running on parallels , connected via ethernet.

cannot bind imac server. using same username , password use administer server nothing works. have tried diradmin account , doesn't works either.

setup
mac mini server - 2.3 i5 , 8gb ram connected via gig ethernet
27"imac - 2.8 i5 8gb of ram running lion , vm of lion

hope makes sense guys.

in advance
stuart

click expand...

you need select , create user "home" folder users defined, using workgroup manager.
also, make sure choose "bridge" mode on parallels vm settings, 2 systems can easier find each other in same ip range
