Question:

Macbook Pro running Boot camp, what’s wrong?

I have recently installed bootcamp on my Macbook pro. My computer is updated etc. I installed windows vista premium home edition. On the mac side I can connect wirelessly fine. However on my Windows side, it shows no connection whatsoever. It does not even show the available wireless connetion in the area. What is the proper step to get the windows side to connect wirelessly to the internet.

It sounds like you have gotten really far already….Grats… that said I am guessing that you are missing a driver on the windows side. apple uses standard hardware and all the drivers that you need are included in the os install. The first thing i would do is insert the leopard disk and run the boot camp driver install from the windows operating system. The boot camp CD contains all the drivers and software you need to get your windows operating system working as you would expect.

if you have done this, all you have to do to connect to wi fi is go to start> connect to> this will show all the wireless networks in range of your computer. Click the name that corresponds to the network that you own. If the network is security enabled it will prompt you for a network key. this was set up when you first installed your router. Enter the key and away you go. Hope this helps!
