Windows on a Mac Wireless Help Needed

[nickr]

I have a MacBook -- great machine, no problems. Now I installed --
correctly, it appears -- Windows XP. But I can't figure outhow to get
WIFI access. When I switch back to Mac, I have an antenna, the
services available, etc. I can't even get online with Windows. Did I
not install something? When I go through Network set up I get nowhere.
Ordinarly, I just open up a laptop and run it though the cable modem
and NetGear wireless antenna. What's going on here?

Are you using Parallels or Boot Camp? If Boot Camp, you'll need the
drivers for the wireless hardware. Since the wireless is Apple hardware,
you'll need to check if there are Windows drivers. See if there are user
forums/tech support for Boot Camp. If Parallels, I assume that the
hardware is virtual just as in other virtualization programs. In that
case, check with the Parallels people.
