Q: W7 WLAN connected but no Internet access

Hello all,

 

Hello all,

 

 

So I just revived an old hard drive partition which contained Windows 7 using Bootcamp. Unfortunately, I cannot access the Internet. The WLAN is connected however, and in the router logs I see connect/disconnect events which match boot up and shut down times of my computer on the Windows partition. The router says everything is OK, but Windows reports no Internet access (and indeed there is none). When I reboot on my Mac OS X partition (everything else unchanged, for all I know) I have perfect Internet access. Weird, isn't it ?

 

Everything else is working fine -keyboard, trackpad, USB ports ... (except function keys, see my other post). I tried reinstalling the Bootcamp utilities from Windows, but to no avail. More information about my Macbook below. Any clues ?
