I have a problem with connecting to the internet on Windows but I've no problems connecting to it on my partition of mac. I use a D-link Di-524 wireless router and it seems that I am unable to connect the ethernet cable from the computer to the router successfully. I feel that it is due to my Windows OS not having a proper network adapter for my router as I could only see the 1394 adapter under network connections, which I believe is the adapter for firewire. Anyone knows what is the underlying problem and where can I get this adapter so that I can use my Windows OS in my iMac to connect to the net successfully. Thanks.

have you installed the mac-windows drivers??
If you have leopard, just pop in the install disk while running windows.
If you are using the downloaded bootcamp beta, then boot camp assistant should have asked you to burn one

im glad that solved it.
a lot of people make the mistake of not installing the drivers after they install windows.
