So I don't know how I can state it any clearer. XP can get on the internet through a BB when running under Parallels. The fact that its a virtual machine has nothing to do with it.

This makes perfect sense. I am able to connect my 8310 to a Mac running Windows XP under both VM Ware Fusion or Parallels (I have tested both) for purposes of backing up the BB, installing software, etc. I do not synchronize because I am on a BES, but there is no reason that synchronization with Outlook running under XP would not work. I synchronize the BB with Cryptmagic and it works fine. However, this would not allow any synching with programs on the Mac side, to my knowledge.
Thus, I see no reason why one could not also connect to the internet on the "XP" side, just as you can from any XP box.
What I thought you had accomplished was to establish the internet connection on the Mac side, without XP, or a way for the Mac side to "see" and use the internet connection established on the XP side. Can you do that?
