From: Stan Robinson on 21 Apr 2008 07:44 I am happy to say I have solved my 2nd question to the group. "Connect Windows/Bootcamp to the Internet??" The answer was not as simple as how to configure "Windows". It is not possible to connect "Windows/Bootcamp" to the Net, unless your OS is "Leopard". My thanks to all who have given their time and knowledge to the discussion. It must be 5 years since I last posted to the group. Thank you, Stan Robinson.

That doesn't make any sense at all. When you've booted Windows, your OS is whichever Windows you've installed, not Mac OS X, Leopard or Tiger. Your Mac partition is just there, doing nothing except taking up space. BTW, I don't understand, either, how this comes under the category of a Safari problem. Even if you're running the Windows version of Safari, you're talking about connecting to the internet in the first place, not browsing. -- <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/election.shtml> Election 2008 goods. <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/greet.cgi> Holiday cards with attitude

If you use Boot Camp to generate a foreign partition on your Mac, you can install any (supported) version of Windows (XP SP2, Vista) with ease, and others (XP versions earlier than SP2, W2K) with more difficulty. You can even install Linux if you really want to. (_Why_ you'd want to is another question.) Once installed, you connect to the Internet _using the standard tools and methods of whatever OS you installed_. If you installed Vista, then you connect by using the exact same methods as you'd connect any other Vista install. There is no difference. > > My thanks to all who have given their time and knowledge to the > discussion. > > It must be 5 years since I last posted to the group. > > Thank you, > > Stan Robinson. -- email to oshea dot j dot j at gmail dot com.

BZZZT - wrong. It's as simple as configuring Windows to connect to the internet. There's no magic here. > It is not possible to connect "Windows/Bootcamp" to the Net, unless your > OS is "Leopard". BZZZT - wrong. Thousands of people, including me, have connected Windows to the internet after using Mac OS X 10.4's Boot Camp beta to partition the Windows partitions. It's as simple as configuring Windows to connect to the internet. There's no magic here. -- Please send all responses to the relevant news group.
