I would agree with you if when I hooked up my computer straight to the router with an ethernet cable it lagged still... but it doesnt it runs perfectly fine and doesnt lag or do that at all

Maybe it's radio interference. Using the cable would work around that. Or switching channels.

Sorry that I didn't catch this thread earlier, guys.

The problem is almost definitely the ancient (and I mean ancient) wireless drivers that Apple bundled with Boot Camp 2.0.  Frankly, I'm surprised that you didn't encounter audio glitching before you ran into network problems.

Anyway, if you religiously read the LaptopVideo2Go forum, you might've noticed my thread about hacking your way to newer drivers.  Fortunately, you don't really have to emulate my hack, now that Boot Camp 3.0 is on the way--the installer package includes the same drivers that I used to perform my hack.

I could host the Boot Camp 3.0 installer just for you guys, but my concern is with the legality of such an action.  What do you guys think?  It's technically freeware, but the only way to extract the package is through direct access to a Snow Leopard DVD.

If you want to skirt the issue completely, you can easily find the stuff you're looking for (and I don't mean the Snow Leopard DVD) on almost any popular torrent aggregator.

I'm sure someone at Apple would popsnizzle a brick if they saw parts of Snow Leopard leaked onto the forum.  Please don't do that here.  What you do in private is no concern to me...

What if I have an effigy of you that I privately let He-Man ride?  Does that concern you?

[the Battle Cat]

I think maybe my effigy of He Man would like to meet your effigy of Battlecat.  Have your effigy wear something casual yet elegant, for an evening of dancing and a late dinner.  I'll dress mine in a black loincloth so don't worry about yours clashing.

What makes you think that MY Battle Cat effigy would be willing to cheat on his He-Man for YOUR He-Man? . . . besides, he needs to have his nails done.

So in the end its just that bootcamp sucks? lol
Wow thats such a let down! Bootcamp 3.0 comes out with snow leopard eh? Hmmm
Thanks I will look into it.

PS - would getting bootcamp 3.0 just update your already installed bootcamp or would you have to delete windows and partition drives again and reinstall everything?

[Quicksilver]

It simply replaces your old drivers, so no Windows installation or hard drive partition is necessary.

And its not out yet?
And why hasnt this issue been brought up everywhere yet?

[5TeN]

I cant see it being a bootcamp issue... because everything else runs fine with it.
It has to be some sort of wireless issue.....
