I was trying to connect to a mongo instance in the cloud using Robo 3T, and I was getting the 'Network is unreachable' message. Oddly, I could connect from using Robo 3T inside a Parallels VM on the same machine. This led me to try the full Studio 3T on my mac, which could also connect just fine. Turn on both your Mac and Windows PC. Make sure that the computers are connected over the same network. Make sure that the Windows firewall is turned off. You can turn it on again after the import is finished. On your Windows PC, open the Parallels Transporter Agent. On your Mac, open Parallels Desktop and choose File New. If you have Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro or Business edition you can reset preset network settings for the whole Parallels Desktop application by going to Preferences Network Restore Defaults.

Linux Network Is Unreachable Error
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.
