Airport works on MacOS but not on WindowsXP with Boot Camp

Hi,
I just bought my first mac, a MacBook and I love the way everything works - a great computer. Tho I like OS X, I still need to use XP time to time so, I got boot camp naturally and installed XP on it. Everything went smoothly.
I have a wireless network with Belkin ADSL/Router. In OS X, I have no problem connecting to it. I use WEP on it. But when I try to connect to it in XP, it just wouldn't even establish a connection. In fact, it seems to somehow screw up the wireless router in the process that when I go back to OS X and try to connect to it, it won't either until I reset my router. In my limited understanding, I suspect the driver on XP not working very well.
Can you help? When I look at XP device manager I do find some strange USB device that isn't working properly but Airport is reported as working fine.
Thanks a bunch,
cnergy

Yes i Seem to be experiencing a similar problem as you, in which connecting to a router on OS X is easy but as soon as i try it on windows xp it cannot establish a connection but my router is already connectingto other windows pcs. Maybe this is because windows cannot recognizethe built in airport, or perhaps it needs to be configured in a way to work with both Xp and os X

  • Airport works for ibook but not desktop?

    Hi All,
    I've got a G5 iBook and a G4 iMac. We've used a DSL modem to connect to the internet with no problems. Recently a friend gave me an airport extreme he no longer used. I've managed to get the iBook working on it, but the desktop doesn't find the server, even when connected with an ethernet cable. No, the desktop does not have an airport card. I'm a bit frustrated, would love some advice, direction, support, insults. Anything at this point.
    Cheers!

    Slip o' the fingers the iBook is also a G4. Proofreading, anyone?
    Definitely got the LAN connected between the desktop and the AEBS properly.
    However on the WAN port- if I send the WAN between the DSL and the AEBS, then there is no input into the DSL from the phone service. In other words, there is one LAN and one WAN input on both the DSL and AEBS. Unless I can just pop a WAN cord into the LAN site on the DSL, and connect it to the AEBS? I'm not as edumacated on networking as I should be. Plus I'm disgusting myself with the use of acronyms, BTW. Ha.

  • AIRPORT WORKS ON WINDOWS BUT NOT ON MAC OSX

    I own a Mac Mini Intel and I have installed Windows XP with bootcamp. In Windows XP I can connect to my wireless router (and Internet)without problem, but not in Mac OSX. I had this problem with the 10.4.x version, and although I have upgraded to Leopard, the problem continues the same. I can access the router in Windows and change any settings (I say that for if someone knows the solution and it includes changes in the router). Has someone had this problem before? Has someone any solution to this problem? Thank you.

  • Windows 7 64 stuck (keyboard/mouse) but not when reboot my Boot camp

    Hi Guys,
    After spending more than 3 times 12 hours reading/searching/trying I've decided to seek for your help.
    My problem is pretty simple, trying to install Windows 7 64bit on MacBook Pro 15 Retins (mid 2014 model - MGXC2LL) gets stuck at language selection level if system is not booted by Boot camp.
    I've performed many tests and the only way to get mouse pointer moving and keyboard responding is to create partition using bootcamp and restart system.
    Once rebooted, Windows 7 installer starts and I can go past language selection.
    I can poweroff mac (powerbutton) and power it on, boot from USB stick and it will still work. I can even pull it out of system and mouse/keyboard will still work.
    Once system gets booted to Mac and restarted to Windows installer, from the very same stick, it get's stuck - no keyboard or mouse moving.
    On top of this I did integrate into boot.wim and install.wim USB3 drivers as per description from other threads. No luck.
    From my side I'm fine to play even with Gparted to create partition whatsoever and I can't figure out why is this so complicated with Mac if one wants to not go with mainstream. It should be as easy as adding Mac drivers to W7 installer and booting it off the stick. Why there's this black magic that system has to be rebooted with BootCamp. What is this black magic? It has to be simple command.
    Why do I care about this?
    1. Well, once I get past the language selection screen, I'm getting stuck on next step as system doesn't see installation medium (No device drivers found). I'll work on this problem in parallel as seems that have found solution: http://techsavvystuff.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/running-os-x-mavericks-miss-windows .html
    2. I'll need to have multi-boot system and will need to install another windows on same mac (Win7 too) and so far didn't find a solution to start properly installer without having partition created by Boot Camp.
    Thanks in advance

    I'll reply to myself, as have found the magic command thanks to guys from TwoCanoe and example at google groups:
    https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/macenterprise/1FT-h8OvVL8/eG94TXpZWHsJ
    sudo /usr/sbin/bless --mount /Volumes/USB_Boot_Volume --setBoot
    --legacy --legacydrivehint /dev/disk1`
    I'll continue my journey towards TrueCrypt installed successfully on this system then.

  • Brightness control not working in Windows 8 x64 after sleep with Boot Camp 5.0.2

    Hi,
    I am using Boot Camp 5.0.2 with Windows 8 x64.
    Wheen the computer has been in sleep mode, and wakes up again, the brightness control won't work as expected.
    Usually the screen is to dark (darker than before, what it should be), and after some time pops up brighter as it should be.
    Has onyone else seen this issue?
    I mean, it seems that for brightness we use the internal control GUI of Windows 8, and not the Apple one that is used in Windows 7 and in Windows 8 for the sound control.
    Macbook Pro 13" Retina, early 2013 (brand new) with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD and 3.0GHz i7.

    I have been having the issue of no brighness control when running windows through bootcamp for about 6 months now and have not found any applicable solution online.
    While messing around trying to figure it out yet again I noticed that my monitor driver was signed by team viewer...
    Sure enough clicking the roll driver back button resolved the issue by rolling the driver back to the Microsoft driver...
    So long story short:
    Right click "My Computer" click properties
    Click device manager (lop left of window)
    Expand Monitors section
    Double Click monitor
    Click driver tab
    If the driver here is not signed by Microsot or Apple click the roll back button. My driver version is 6.1.7600.16385 (Driver date 6/21/2006)
    Rolling this back instantly resolved my issue. I will now propagate this post to all the threads I saw regarding this issue.
    I am running windows 7 x64 Ulti on a 15" rMBP.
    Best of luck

  • Airport works for iphone but not for imac

    Hi,
    My Belkin router, airport express, and printer, all show that everything is fine and my iPhone is able to connect wirelessly to the network via the airport.
    The problem is my computer registers the airport but can't find the network or the printer.
    In system preferences/networks the airport says it is on but it has a yellow dot next to it. Under network name, my internet network doesn't appear.
    At the moment I'm connecting through the ethernet and that has a green dot next to it. From this network pane I can turn the airport off and on again and it briefly registers the network, then it disappears again after about 20 seconds.
    I've tried rebooting both the computer and the airport a number of times.
    Can anyone help?

    My computer and airport have been working fine since I bought my iMac a year ago. This morning the computer no longer recognises the network and printer.

    Hello annadee. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I suggest powering-down the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a start to rule out any wireless conflicts between it and the wireless Belkin router.
    With just the Belkin running, can your iMac now access the Internet connected by wireless to the Belkin?

  • Adobe Creative Cloud does not support Bootcamp by Apple IOS operating system, but does work with boot camp Win 8.1 why"

    Adobe Creative Cloud does not support APPLE latest IOS operating system, but does allow Windows 8.1 to be accepted. This seems a shame to me, as
    Apple IOS is the leader in graphics, photography. The advertising states it is usable under both APPLE IOS and Microsoft 8.1 windows operating systems. Adobe Support Chat Sooraj tells me on 02/19/2015 that i must buy two computers to have it operate on both operating systems. Adobe will not support apple's Boot CAMP allowing both operating systems.
    i love the apple product and love the ADOBE Photoshop CC, but it simply does now work with an apple keyboard and a WiN operating system. .[email protected]  Adobe Creative Cloud

    In Thehatters defence, this was initially posted in the MacbookPro forum and then moved to Boot Camp,

  • Why does the counter work in MAX, but not Labview?

    Please help, I have been away from Labview for over 3 months, and I am quite rusty....
    Last year, I successfully configured NI9401 to measure period (seconds) by counting the rising edges of my sensor signal.  Since then, I have aquired a new PC, and loaded all my software into it, including the Labview VI's that successfully worked on the old computer.
    I can see the digital signal using MAX and the test panel for the NI9401, so, I know my wiring and my TTL signal is OK, but, when I try to run the attached VI, nothing happens except the error below..  How do I tell this VI to look for the signal on MOD3/CTR0 and channel 14?
    Thanks. I am sure it is a small adjustment...this worked fine a few months ago...not sure what is wrong now.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    OK, now.  Resolved the issue. The vi is fine, but, some shaky wires were identified...worked in MAX but not in the vi.  Now that the connections have been tightened up, it works for both.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Edit: I succeeded to solve it accidentally. I did the following: Sign the jar in Netbeans, clean and build, the jar didn't work, I wiped out the .ks from the jar and clean and build again. Now it worked.

  • Wifi works at home but not when away from home

    My Wifi works at home but not when away from home, what is wrong?  I thought with a phone plan I didn't need to have a wifi connection.

    You either need WiFi or Cellular (or both). If you have neither, you can't connect to the internet.
    Most people use WiFi at home and Cellular while away from home, or connect to public WiFi networks where there are some.

  • Album Art works for most, but not all

    I was reading previous forums on the subject, but no clear answer was given..
    The album art shows up fine in itunes and my library and works for most of my music on my ipod, but how come some album's art does appear? I have it set manually and select 'Get Info' then 'Artwork' and add it from there, then drag in the finished product to my ipod. I've been doing that and it works fine for most of the albums, but every so often, the album art will not appear on my ipod. Am I doing something wrong? I take them all from the same source (amazon.com) but it makes no sense to me how some randomly don't appear.
    I tried deleting the artwork and re-adding it, but nothing happened again. If you could answer why it works for most but not all or how I can get the album art to appear for the ones it will not by re-doing something, it would be appreciated. thanks.

    I encountered the same problem in the beginning. When I compared the size of the original images, the working ones seemed to be smaller in general, so I reduced the size of all covers I intended to upload on the pod to 300x300 pixels.
    This seemed to work - for 2 days. I bought the pod on friday, had pictures on sunday, but on Monday (after the first time the pod was fully discharged) none were left left.
    So I ended searching this forum for related problems...
    And decided to join my problem to this entry.
