Re: Problems connecting Mac Leopard to Wireless Network
what does your wireless monitor say?
1. make sure your radio is turned on 2. Does it see your network? 3. Does the device manager recognize you adaptor? |

Re: Problems connecting Mac Leopard to Wireless Network
1. Radio? Is this whilst I am in my Leopard on the MAC HD? If so well my Airport is on
2. When in Leopard on my MAC HD it works fine on my network - but on my Leopard Vista I just get the errors I posted in the original post 3. Device Manager says the drivers are up to date when I tried to upgrade them - so I assume so Hope that clears things up :/ I went to Apple store but they refused help cause it's on the Microsoft side...so lame Any other ideas much appreciated - also offering $50 reward if someone works out fix [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] C |

Re: Problems connecting Mac Leopard to Wireless Network
This is a translated version of what I saw in a blog post comment:
First off, there aren't any Mac-provided 64-bit drivers for the wireless card that comes with the MacBook Pro. However there are drivers that work, you just have to install them. 1. Grab the drivers from Dell's website. 2. Run the .exe and unzip the files to C:\dell\drivers\R140747. 3. After you unzip them, it'll launch an install wizard -- cancel it; it won't work anyway. 4. From the Device Manager > right click on the wireless card and choose Update Driver > choose Install from specific location > choose to install from the folder above where the drivers were unzipped to. 5. You may need to restart after you do this. |

Re: Problems connecting Mac Leopard to Wireless Network
That said, is there a reason why you chose to install 64-bit Vista? It seems like there's a ton of other compatibility issues... The only reason I see people justifying using 64-bit is because they have > 2GB of RAM.
