I recall you need a Virtual Adaptor in Windows mapped to the real IP on Mac

here's one way to do it

Also - make sure that after you install Vista you put your Leopard disk in the drive and get the bootcamp driver set. After that you should have networking - then update the driver pack with the Bootcamp 2.1 update.

Softpedia sucks. They're thieves, stealing bandwidth from legitimate websites, linking to other companies files hosted on other companies servers, while pounding you with advertisements.

Just thought I'd add that, because theft by any name is still theft.
