[QUOTE="idlerat, post: 829545, member: 38310"] Please forgive me if I'm doing something stupid, it's been a long time since I've used Windows and I'm a bit lost ;p I'm running Windows XP via VMware and it was all working well until a few days ago when suddenly the internet stopped working on it. Leopard is still happily connected to the internet and XP thinks it is too, but I can't get any webpages to load or Skype or (*cough*) Maple Story to connect on Windows, I've tried tinkering, but the problem is that windows thinks it [I]is[/I] connected so it won't offer up any of those handy "fix this!" things my sister gets from her Windows laptop. It's a wireless connection, the signal strength seems fine and it was all working a few days ago. Any suggestions for how to get it working again? Or just what might be wrong? I don't really want to re-install windows and lose all my files and programs, but I can't think of anything else :( [/QUOTE]
