Partitioned my Mac, but can't get an internet connection on the Windows side. Somebody please help.:confused:
 
Precisely what do you mean by "partition"? Is this a virtual machine partition, like VMware? Or are you referring to a disk partition? How is Windows being run?

So you must have done this with Apple's Boot Camp tool. Which allows you to dual boot Win and OS X on a Mac. Did you install the required drivers that allows Windows to run properly and be fully supported on a Mac? If you got a Mac with a DVD drive, the Windows drivers should be on the one of the OS X DVDs. If there's no DVD, you can get the required Windows drivers from Apple's website. Just search for Boot Camp Windows Drivers on Apple's website. You'll have to download them in OS X, and put them on a USB key so you can install them into Windows.

Full Boot Camp instructions are here, with everything you need to know.

Thanks. It was the drivers. Re-installed them, and it's all good now.:)
