Wifi in XP

[corex2]

Hi there, I am thinking of buying parallel's for one reason only and I need to know if its possible before I buy.

I have just upgraded to Leopard and have found out that my usb wifi key is now not supported. I dont want to downgrade back to tiger. Is it possible to attatch the wifi usb dongle to xp in parallels and then branch the internet connection that comes from the wifi in xp back into leopard?

Thanks in advance

I can't answer question, but I have one of my own...what happened to the WiFi that was built in to your Mac?

Sorry its not a g4 its a intel imac and the wifi has never worked since i got it of ebay. thats one of the reasons i got it cheap

OK. That's that then. All of the Intel machines had built-in Wifi (possibly not the Mac Pro). I still can't help with the Wifi key (I wish I could), but you might consider replacing your Airport Extreme card. As you know, CompUSA is liquidating. I've seen the cards there for about $40.

Its not possible to replace the card, its something to do with the pins where the card connects, to fix it apple wants 180 euros + tax... Not an option for poor student like me.

All the intel machines do have built-in PCI Wifi network card. Or if you don't have it buy it from eBay or amazon to get a good discount.
