If someone could help me out I would be extremely grateful.

I just purchased a new blackbook, my first mac. Upgraded to a gig of ram and installed bootcamp and xp.

I want to get to playing some WoW online tonight but I don't understand how to get my internet connection working in xp. For my mac I just plug it in, for windows im extremely confused.


I have just the normal DSL connection.


Thanks so much for the help.

Wired.

what kind of router do you have? try typing in 192.168.1.1

Can't you play WoW in OS X? Sorry, if this isn't helpful, I just want to know.

He should be able to - WoW works on both in OS X and Windows.

 

[kmac21]

Yes you can, but id prefer to play it in windows.


And that ip brought up nothing, but I checked and it's a D-Link router.

 

[kmac21]

Failed to query TC/IP Setting and when i put the mac drivers disc in when i boot windows it installs but at the last second says there was some error...

oh and im using a windows disc with S1 not S2 ..

 

[kmac21]

I figured out my problem, SP1.

Now heres my question. The only game I want to play is WoW, and im using windows for all my gaming (mostly 2d)

So Should I,

A) Use parallels for 2d emulation, and run WoW on my mac
B) Slipstream SP2 onto a disc and load it into bootcamp so all my gaming can be done in windows.
C) Do it all on a mac

?

Thanks

do as much as possible on a mac, the less questions you will have about windows

<damn am i lucky that i never need to touch this so called "Windows">

Why? WoW even is universal binaries already, so it will be about the same speed in OSX as in windows. Every Add-On etc & Teamspeak work in OSX too.

I'm just curious if there are any advatages I do not know of.

Except that they underclocked the graphics card in OS X. You'd get better game performance in Windows. I know of this with some other games, and several others here have said it too.

I think the gfx card is hardware underclocked, so it would be underclocked in Windows, too. Although games might still run better in Windows because of optimizations etc.

GFX hardware? This is the Macbook, Intel GFX are not underclocked - just the ATIs

Oh yes, I was responding to the one talking about this and didn't realize that we were talking about a Macbook, so this problem isn't existing at all, you're right.
