Windows Partition has no Internet Connection

Question

Windows Partition has no Internet Connection

I have recently bootcamped windows 7 x64. I thought everything had installed just fine, but I can't connect to the internet. Obviously, thats a problem. I used troubleshooting, and apparently I'm missing the proper drivers. I've been trolling other forums with similar questions, and soms people seem to see that installing the OS X DVD to the windows partition fixes this. My problem, I'm not sure I have the DVD. I very well might, but if I can get around this, or somehow replace it, that would be wonderful. Also, I'm runninng Mountain Lion, if that makes any difference.

Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated! I'm missing out on Fall of Cybertron people. Clearly, this is a serious problem.

Using the DVD was the solution when Apple was shipping DVDs, now it is a little different. Return to the Mac OS and run BootCamp again. The first step of BootCamp (if I remember properly) is to download the BootCamp drivers and again, if memory serves, you have the option to save them to a DVD or flash drive. I did this over a year ago and not since so my memory is a little vague.

While this did not diectly solve my problem, it did get me on the right track. I did the silly mistake of not copying the support software to a USB port, and the necessary drivers to finish the boot camping process where in the Windows Support files.

Thanks for your help!
