Network unable to connect in bootcamp

Installed Bootcamp with windows xp. Trying to connect to the wireless (system sees my network) and I continue to get the message: "windows is unable to connect to selected network. network may no longer be in range. please refresh network list."

- network is in range
- I have uninstalled and reinstalled driver directly from disc
- repairs are not working

any suggestions other than call Apple?

Hi JD,

glad to hear that you could work around the problem.

XP with SP2 doesn't know a thing about WPA2 but can use WEP or WPA.

If you wanna try WPA2 with XP download this update http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=662bb74d -e7c1-48d6-95ee-1459234f4483 and see if you can get WPA2 to run.

Simply because WPA2 is safer than WPA which is safer than WEP.

Take care

Stefan
