Can't get online while on windows...

SouthA · Mar 22, 2008

I recently upgraded to leopard and installed WindowsXP Pro. Everything worked out great except.... I can't connect to the internet while in Windows. It works just perfectly when I boot up MacOS but, not Windows. What exactly, do I need to do to fix this? Any help is a appreciated, THANKS

did you put your osx disc in after installing windows to install all of the hardware? if not do that and all of your wireless settings will be available in windows then.

Parallels? Bootcamp?

I used Bootcamp btw

and after installing windows through bootcamp did you (in windows) put your OSX disc in to finish the install?

If not do that now. if you have then you have to go into network conections and see if your WIFI is being picked up.

THANKS, that IS what I neglected to do. I installed the Bootcamp drivers and everything should be fine. I DO have one other problem though. When I get to the screen where I select which OS to use my "mighty mouse" very rarely works. I can see the cursor on the screen but I can't move it... any ideas?

is it wireless? that is sometimes a problem, but either way you can use the directional keys. its porbably quicker to do that than use the mouse

It's probably a wireless (Bluetooth) Mighty Mouse. If that's the case, you're likely not waiting long enough for the EFI to recognize it. It does take a few seconds (30 seconds+ before it will start working at times). I've experience the same.
