Networking Issues, Windows on a Mac

Chelle345 · 04-24-2008, 09:01 AM

I got a mac not to long ago, it has Leopard and Bootcamp on it, which I was excited about because I like to play an occasional video game. This would make it much easier.

So I install Windows XP onto my Mac and get everything nice and setup there. Only I can't get Windows to connect to the wireless internet using the Built-in AirPort Extreme (802.11n) my mac has. When I go to the help section in windows it says to right-click on the "New Wireless Network tab," only this tab is for some reason missing in my Network connections box. I figure windows just needs the driver for this to work, and I have looked high and low to find a driver for a Mac piece of equipment that will work for Windows.

Nonetheless, my windows will not hook up to the wireless network. Am I correct in my assessment that I need a driver? Does this driver even exist? Any help would be fantastic, thanks!

The Leopard install DVD that came with your Mac has the drivers you need for your hardware to work in Windows.
