I just bought new Macbook Pro 17" with leopard OSX
Installed Windows XP with SP2 on bootcamp. Works like PC but cant get
internet access via wireless or direct modem (ADSL Broadband) cord into
MAcbok Pro-- WHEN Im in Windows mode on Macbook Pro. WONDERING WHAT i NEED
TO do o access internet via windows/bootcamp. drivers from Mac side of
things are p to date.'
wondering if there is other drivers from Pc side I need??

Also tried to play command and conquer (PC version) in bootcamp/Windows XP.
Doesnt work. Tried to update the Geforce Nvidia 8600 GT driver. but when
unpackage it in bootcamp mode--doesnt alllow!! frustrating
any suggestons for these problems would be a godsend.

Cheers

I play a lot of PC games with Bootcamp on a Macpro laptop and all of
them work well. This includes online games like World of Warcraft, and
non-online games like Hearts of Iron 2 (all versions), HOMM5, Warcraft
3, Medieval Total War 3, NHL 2008, Rybka Chess, you name it...

As for the internet, PC under Bootcamp will only connect to my wireless
router if it is not encrypted. So use either a direct connection or an
unencrypted router. And no, I don't know why and I didnt spend anyu time
trying to find out why.

At work I have a Quad Mac with Bootcam, and both connec flawlessly to
the Internet through the direct Ethernet connection, and games work fine
too.

I just got my new macbook regular with 2.2 Ghz hooked up with bootcamp with
vista home premium. But when i connect a USB mouse to vista mode, it can't
find drivers for the mouse (not just any mouse..its a microsoft mouse). Also
not working is the volume controls and the screen brightness controls and the
built in webcam and microphone. Any suggestions on how to solve any of this
stuff I'd appreciate it lots.

thanks
