Re: internet problems running windows on my mac

Yes, you can't connect because Windows doesn't have drivers to use the network hardware. And I find it hard to believe that you can't run the Mac OS install CD to load the drivers, it is suppost to work with XP SP2. I guess you will have to find the updates on Microsoft's website, and download them while in OS X and burn them to CD or DVD, then boot into Windows and install them.
