Re: Windows can't see the network card
That yellow symbol says there is something wrong with that device, usually it's drivers, and that it wont work. So it sounds like you do need to download the appropriate bootcamp and or bootcamp drivers as Patrick has suggested. I have not personally done this so I can't advise on the specifics. It may also be worth investigating if it is related to the older Mac OS you are using.

Re: Windows can't see the network card
Hi Peter Have you installed the Windows/Mac drivers from the OSX CD? When you install Bootcamp, you need to load the MacOSX CD which has Windows drivers for a lot of things on it. Quote from the Manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf ---quote--- Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc. The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort, built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and the function keys on an Apple keyboard. The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and the Apple Boot Camp system tray item. To install the Boot Camp drivers: 1Eject the Windows installation disc. 2Insert the Mac OS X disc. If the installer doesn¹t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorer and double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory. 3Follow the onscreen instructions. If a message appears that says the software you¹re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway. Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don¹t require your input. 11 If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you must respond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows. Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs. 4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only). 5Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear. 6Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp. ---end quote--- Kind Regards Daniel On 11/9/10 4:59 PM, Peter Bull pb...@bbnet.com.au wrote: Hi Paul, Thanks for your suggestions.

Re: Windows can't see the network card
Hi Peter Have you installed the Boot Camp drivers from the OS X Install DVD? That DVD contains all the drivers for things like your network card and video card so Windows can use them. You can also get the latest copy of the Boot Camp drivers from the Apple website: http://support.apple.com/downloads Patrick On 8/09/10 4:46 PM, Peter Bull pb...@bbnet.com.au wrote: I recently installed a downgrade called Windows XP Service Pack 2 on my iMac OS 10.5.8 using Boot Camp. I have installed Office on the Windows partition and that works fine. Windows can't find my Brother printer connected with Ethernet through a 4 port router even though the Mac and another PC on the home network can. Nor can I access the Internet. I have just spoken to the ISP who think that Windows can't find the network card or the drivers. Where do I find them and how do I get them onto Windows? Thanks in advance.
