Did you download and install The Windows Support software? What error message are you getting? How are you trying to connect? Describe your network setup.

Logitech V470 Cordless fails to connect in Boot Camp

After installing MS XP SP3, my Logitech V470 Cordless fails to connect in Boot Camp. The Logitech Bluetooth Connection Assistant does not recognize the mouse. In MS Control Panel, Bluetooth the mouse is recognized, without a password, but does not work. I have had not luck with Logitech or Microsoft. Any suggestions.

After Vista installed, did you insert the Mac drivers CD (if you're running the beta Boot Camp) or the Installation DVD (if you're running Leopard)? Without the Apple-supplied drivers you probably won't have a lot of things working right.

Connecting Under Boot Camp - WRT610N

I recently replaced an old Belkin router with the WRT610N. I've benn very happy with this router with one exception. I have a Macbook Pro. Under the Mac operating system, I have not problem connecting. Running XP under Boot Camp is a diffferent story. It will connect for a few minutes, but then the link becomes non-responsive (limited ot no connectivity) and I have to log off and then back on. This never happened with the Belkin router, and other PCs, an Apple TV, and an iPhone connect wirelessly without a hitch. So I suspect this is something about the Linksys router.
Can anyone help me with this problem? It happens on both bands. If it's relevant, the 5GHz band is network mode Wireless-N only, radio band Auto, WPA2-Personal with WPA-TKIP or WPA2-AES encryption. The 2.4GHz band (the one I prefer to use for this problamatic connection) is network mode Mixed, radio band Auto, WPA-Personal with TKIP encryption.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Upgrade the Firmware on the router as the new firmware has resolved many issues for wireless connection...Also make sure that the radio band for 2.4GHz Frequency is set to standard-20MHz and standard channel should be 11-2.462GHz...Also the network mode should be Mixed on both the frequencies...

Windows 7 Pro not finding network connections after boot camp installation. Is there something special we have to do to get the network (wired and wireless) set up?

Any suggestions for getting the network connections working on Windows 7 Pro running on a Mac Min with OSX Lion?

If you haven't yet installed the Windows Support Software, that's probably why, so install it now.

Can't get Apple USB modem to work in Boot Camp

I've been struggling to get an Internet connection under boot camp/Windows XP for several days. Have an Apple USB modem and installed all the Apple drivers. Apple tech support says they can't help me with Windows (cop out). Both Microsoft and my ISP tech support team have both been great and have spent hours trying to help me. Their final conclusion is that the modem is working fine, but the underlying flaw is the inability of an Apple system to run Windows. In desperation, I've ordered a US Robotics USB modem from the Mac/PC Connection that is both OS X and Windows XP compatible. It is on backorder for 2 weeks
Any help you can give me in the meantime would be greatly appreciated! Glad I kept my old Dell!

"I am confused, QuickDraw. If the poster cannot get online via Windows XP, how does he or she get the drivers?"
I was speaking of the Boot Camp drivers that comes on the Leopard Disc. This could possibly be the answer to your troubles as well if you haven't already installed them yourself. After you've successfully installed Windows via Boot Camp, you need to boot up into Windows, then stick in your Leopard Disc and the drivers are supposed to install automatically. If after you've installed the BC drivers you still cannot get online via your router, then post back.
Hope this helps.
By the way, you really need to start your own thread. That way you'll have a better chance of being assisted from others. Just a suggestion.

Is anybody else struggling with an intermittent connection when using the Magic Mouse/Trackpad ONLY on Boot Camp?

Hi,
I've seen thousands of posts about Bluetooth connection issues and interference and stutter/lag for both the Magic Mouse and Trackpad (affecting both Mac OS X and Windows under Boot Camp) but my problem is different.
To summarise my setup, I use:
- Retina MacBook Pro (lid closed or open, doesn't make a difference to this problem)
- Thunderbolt Display
- Wireless Keyboard
- Magic Trackpad (have also tried a Magic Mouse and experience similar issues to the Trackpad)
And in Mac OS X, everything works perfectly. The keyboard and trackpad work smoothly when I'm 6-7 metres from the machine, whether or not the laptop lid is open or closed, and whether or not the Thunderbold Display is connected.
But on to my problem: the bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
But during usage, the cursor stutters/lags frequently, and tap to click (when enabled) seems to get triggered by mistake all the time (even when I'm not touching the Trackpad or even at the computer, clicks get registered).
The Wireless Keyboard is perfect, and works well 5 metres from the machine. The Mouse and Trackpad, though, don't even work reliably when they are 6 inches from the machine. The built-in trackpad on the laptop works perfectly too, in Windows and Mac.
I spent a week assuming I was suffering from Bluetooth interference, so I tried:
- using the laptop with the lid open
- removing the Thunderbolt display completely and trying the Magic Trackpad
- repositioning items on my desk
- disabling wifi
All of these adjustments made minor differences to how good/bad the Trackpad was, but none came close to fixing the problem or making it work as smoothly as under Mac OS X. It was only after doing all of this that I realised perhaps it was just a Apple driver for Windows issue, so I booted into Mac OS X and tested everything out, and sure enough, it's all perfect. But back into Windows, the Trackpad doesn't work reliably at all.
Obviously, the hardware is not at fault, and I assume the signal strength doesn't vary between operating system (why would it?) so I'm left believing this must be a driver issue. The TrackPad and Magic Mouse drivers have been out for a couple of years, so I'm surprised they can still be this bad. I tried both the latest driver from Boot Camp 4.0 (3.2.0.0) for the Trackpad, and also the older one from Boot Camp 3.2 (3.1.0.7) and both are equally bad for me.
So my question is: has anybody else struggled with using the Trackpad (or Magic Mouse) with Boot Camp 4.0 and Windows 7 64-bit, whilst finding it to be perfect under Mac OS? I haven't found many posts complaining about the Windows driver, which is why I assumed it was an interference issue. But I'm almost sure it isn't, having spent 2 weeks investigating.
Any thoughts/suggestions/answers much appreciated!
Kyle

SOLVED!
After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one. As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back. Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem. This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer. So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
I really hope this helps others trying to use Bluetooth devices under Boot Camp. All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.
Cheers

Lose airport connection after using boot camp and windows XP

After using windows XP on boot camp and shutting down windows and booting to Mac OS 10.5.7 I lose the airport connection and have to restart or reset my airport extreme base station. My imac 2.8 is connected to airport via ethernet. Air port is operating on 5.7 version. This is a recent development and suspect it is related to updates in windows. I do not know where to start but need to solve this problem as it interrupts the other computers on wireless. Thanks Carl

I have solved problem. It was in the windows settings using airport rather than ethernet connection. Carl

Limited or no connectivity to wireless on XP using Boot Camp

Hi all, I need a little help!
I just installed Windows XP with SP2 on my Intel Mac using Boot Camp. Everything seemed fine until I tried to connect to my wireless network. I've installed and reinstalled all of the drivers, and I can see the driver for wireless networking, but every time I connect it tells me it has "limited or no connectivity." Any idea what to do here? Thanks!!

Denisimo posted this reply to me, and it worked!

I found this on one of the Macrumors forums on the web:
I had exactly the same situation as iBunny.
I got it working by changing the settings via Airport Utility from "WPA2 Personal" into "WPA/WPA2 Personal" and it worked. Btw, before this, I changed from channel 11 to 1, 1 to 2, 2 to 7 without success. I've kept it under channel 7 and just made the change mentioned above.
Also, under winXP, I went to Wireless Network Connection properties and filled up the preferred networks. Am not sure if this has anything to do with the problem at hand but I am now connected automatically.
The user was using a Macbook. Hope this helps.

I just changed from WEP to WPA/WPA2 Personal, and didn’t bother with the rest. That worked.

Cinema DIsplay sleeps when I use Boot Camp with Radeon 5870 through DVI connection

I just created a bootcamp partition on my Mac Pro (1,1) with Radeon 5870 and XP Professional so I can play Train Simulator 2012 with maxed out settings. Well after hours of installing Windows XP and updating it (via Parallels so I could do other things while waiitng for Windows) I got Train Simulator 2012 installed, Windows XP Professional fully upto date and reboot to bootcamp. I see the Windows screen and then my monitor goes to sleep (best guess). I am using an Apple Cinema Display 20" and is of course connected to the DVI port. One guess (and I hope I am totally wrong about this) is I think I remember reading the DVI port id display 3 not 1. I hope this isn't the problem (requiring me to buy a $40 Mini Display port for DVI adapter.
Any ideas as to why this is happening? I was so looking forward to playing Train Simulator with maxed out graphics via Boot Camp with the Radeon 5870 1GB. Don't get me started as to why my line out is not being detected by XP Pro.
I also have the latest Bootcamp drivers for XP (3.2).

Never used XP and on Mac Pro I wanted to use all 4-cores and more than 1.9GB RAM but often it seems that in the past and with Fusion anyway you would need to install Windows updates and drivers natively not thru or in the VM.

Unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly on Boot Camp with Windows 7

I recently installed Boot Camp and Windows 7 on my Mac Book Pro with no problems.
A month later, I am unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly.
It states that I am connected to my router.
When I trouble shoot, it cannot find the problem.
My wireless connection and cable connection are fine on the MAC side.
Please help.

looks a like a Windows 7 problem. I assume that you can click on the current connection info on the task bar and see a connection to your wireless router? Have you updated your copy of Windows since it was working? I am wondering if it's an update that's applied in Windows which has done something.

Boot Camp Windows 7 No Longer Connects to Internet

Hello, I have a mid 2011 iMac with Boot Camp Windows 7 installation. It has run flawlessly for more than a year. Recently however, I have been untable to connect to internet when running Windows. The connection works fine as a Mac. While in Windows, I can momentarily (about 10 seconds) connect by disconnecting and reconnecting the LAN cable. Then the "no internet." I have all the latest Boot Camp support software installed. All MAC and Windows software updates are installed. My network devices are configured correctly. I have rolled back to previous Windows updates with no resolution. Does anyone have any suggestions?

your router, your Windows firewall, you are using something other than Windows Defender (8) or Essentials (7), something else on the cable.
you had a storm and the modem is on life support and your ISP can login and see what errors the modem is showing, you don't have network surge protection (APC tend to interfere, Cyberpower tend to work).
What else is on the LAN?
I found Windows to be funny about network but 8 and 8.1 have never had trouble. With 7 I sometimes had to reboot.
Besides Apple and Windows, some drivers are or often still needed - manually.

Windows 7 - Boot Camp - No Internet Connection

Hello,
I just installed windows 7 (enterprise 64bit) onto my iMac (running the latest OS). When I log onto the Windows 7 OS it says I have no internet connection. I use wireless, is this a problem with my network working with windows 7? wireless works on Mountain Lion just fine. Any tips on how to resolve this issue? I looked online for help and it says to reinstall the drivers from the boot camp CD. But these were old post when they use to have CDs for Boot Camp, it is now just an application on my mac. I would appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thank you,
Zach

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Windows requires Boot Camp drivers to work correctly on a Mac.
1. Press Option key when your Mac starts and choose Macintosh HD.
2. Open Boot Camp Assistant, download the Boot Camp drivers and burn them into an USB disk or DVD.
3. Start in Windows and install Boot Camp drivers

Cannot connect to Wi-Fi under Windows 7 in Boot Camp

I installed Windows 6 x64 the other day, installed fine, installed the Boot Camp software off my Mac OS X Install disc just fine. Everything works except that I cannot connect to my home Wi-Fi network, it says that information could not be gathered from this access point or something to that effect (in OS X at the moment, can't remember the exact message). But, if I turn on Wi-Fi tethering on my phone, I can connect to that just fine.
Any ideas?
