Boot Camp 4.0 Network Problems

This is what worked for me (thanks to everyone who contributed to the fix):

- Connected my MBP to Ethernet (I suspect this will work for wireless as well)

- Opened Network / Ethernet / Advanced

- Clicked Proxies Tab & UNCLICKED all proxy settings

- Shut down Boot Camp Assistant

- Restarted Boot Camp Assistant

Download began without a hitch this time.

Try this:

"Go into System Preferences - Network - Advanced - Proxies

Uncheck "Auto Proxy Discovery",

click OK, Apply"

@christopher

launched System Preferences > Network, clicked Advanced and under Proxies the Auto Proxy Discovery checkbox was already unchecked. I tried a few cycles of checking Auto Proxy Discovery, clicking OK, clicking Apply, repeat with Auto Proxy Discovery unchecked and then restarting BOOT CAMP WORKED

Yes, what did the trick for me was quitting and restarting Boot Camp Assistant, see my above 11/4/11 note. Also if you're downloading to an external drive make sure there's a least 1 GB of free space because the WindowsSupport folder is around 700 MB and presumably will grow with time.

Best,

Chris.

Hey Guys Im still having this issue on my late 2011 MacBook Pro 2.2 Quad 6750 512mb and Auto proxy discovery is unchecked and ive tried checking and unchecking this option.

The "downloading windows support software" hangs around 30% and then says a network error message. It's proving a little bit frustrating and the direct download doesnt seem to hold the latest graphics drivers for the ATI 6750 512

Any other ideas?

thanks!!!!!

you may have to restart your computer after changing the proxie. I did and it worked just fine.

After Unchecking "Auto Proxy Discovery" I also had to Uncheck "Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)" and then Restart Boot Camp Assistant.

And did that work?

Sorry, yes that did resolve the issue for me.
