    Have you backed up the drivers before creating partitions? If not, on osx side; you can go to boot camp in applications and create a drivers disk the instal them on windows.

    EDIT: If you still have the backup cd, try running it again. Maybe you missed something the first time around.

    Good Luck!

    I don't think MCE version is supported, no? I am using XP Home and has no problems connecting albeit the mBp's wireless has been known to have issues

    As I understand all versions of XP SP2 are supported.

    I remember i had the same problem. FOr some reason, I couldn't connect to my wireless internet. Strangely enough, I just restarted my computer and then wireless worked.
