Dusted off my MacBook – it’s maybe 3 years old and hasn’t been used in quite a while, at least 1-2 years.
Reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled the Mac OS (10.6.1) using the original installation disks. Everything fine.
It found my home wireless network automatically and with no problems. Internet access great.
Partitioned the disk and loaded Windows7. Everything done per the instructions.
The problem is the Windows7 portion of the computer does not “see” the home network. This is needed for wireless access to the internet, my goal.
With Windows7, I can get internet access with an Ethernet cable from the computer into the router, but even with that the system doesn’t “see” my home network.
As my goal is for wireless internet and home network, what’s my problem (besides being insufficiently knowledgeable) and how to fix the system so I have full wireless internet access?
In advance, thanks.
