Hi all, well, i have just put BootCamp onto my PowerBook and installed Windows XP SP2 onto it. The problem i have is that when im running Windows on my PowerBook i can connect to my wireless network which is coming from my Airport Extreme but i cant get an internet connection, nothing in internet explorer works, i just get told 'Cannot find page'. When i run Mac OSX on my PowerBook the internet works fine but when i run Windows it doesnt. I've tried setting up the DCHP connection manualy but nothing seems to work. If anyone could shead some light onto this that would be great. Cheers in advance.

yeah, i ran into this problem once. I used to have an airport base and I couldn't get my windows box to connect to it either. I have no idea how to fix this. I jus traded to airport for a linksys.
