plutonyum Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Hi everyone, New to the forum - I apologise for any forum mistakes. So, I recently bought a 2.8GHz Core i7 17" Macbook Pro and juiced it up with some third party ram. Everything in terms of hardware is sweet. When I boot into OS/X, I can connect to our Airport Extreme G Router with no problems. When I restart into Windows 7 Professional, all of a sudden I cannot connect to the network or get IE or Firefox working. Our router has MAC address filtering and a WPA/2 key. The password is right...When I run command prompt and type "getmac", I get a different MAC address to when I'm using OSX. I've added this MAC address to the list of allowed machines. I've also got the latest and correct drivers for the newtwork card. Does anyone know whats going on here?? Thanks in advance Plutonyum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WPA2-Personal AES Broadcast SSID Control Panel >>> Network and Sharing Center >>> Manage Wireless Networks >>> Right-click on the network entry that you wish to connect to and which requires your login credentials >>> Properties >>> Security >>> Advanced Settings >>> 802.1X Settings In this window, tick the <Specify authentication mode> and then select User Authentication. Click <OK> until you get back to the Manage Wireless Networks window..... Then try reconnecting to the wireless network. Windows should now ask for your login credentials.......
