Okay. I've looked all over for an answer to this, maybe you guys can help me out.

I'm on Mac OS X version 10.5.5, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

Is it possible, with my current version of Boot Camp (I haven't added anything to it or gotten anything new for it) will I be able to connect to the internet using the built-in wireless stuff?

All I want to do is play Call of Duty 4, but when I go to Network Connections in XP, it doesn't show a Wireless Network Connections icon like everything says it should.

Do I have to buy something else, too, or should what I have now be fine?
 
Hey,

you probably haven't installed the drivers yet [the ones you burnt when you started the boot camp process] or did not install them the right way. Trying installing them again and see if it works. I had the same problem around 8 months ago.

Cheers,

That's the problem. All my computer came with was the Mac OS X install discs and the books on how to use the computer and whatnot.

I don't recall ever burning anything when I did Boot Camp. All I did was partition, then install XP.
 
Hmm. Well, it's not doing anything. Just making some noise then popping the CD out.


Would I just be able to head over to XP, pop in the disc, and hope for the best? Haha.


If not, I'll have to see if I can find the drivers somewhere online and install them into XP manually or something.


Or did you mean AS I'm booting?
 
The Boot Camp drivers are included on Disc 1 that came with your computer. You need to be in your Windows installation when inserting the disc. Installation will start automatically.
