hello,
I very recently bought my first mac ever after always using PC, a mac book pro. I have partitioned the hardrive and installed windows vista so that i can run some of the programs i already have for PC. However my problem is that i cannot access the internet when on the windows partition. The internet DOES work when im on the mac. I rang westnet -my internet provider- and the people there said that it might be that my network driver is not being recognised or something by windows.
I am not to advanced at using computers, so if you could reply in fairly simple terms that would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Ollie

I am guessing that you installed via bootcamp? After installing vista, did you install the bootcamp drivers that are on your Mac OS install discs? These drivers are specifically designed for all the components in your MBP.
