I installed XP via bootcamp recently on my new 2.4ghz 24" Imac. Everything is working fine except the wireless internet. It connects to my network I enter the key and it seems to be connected. However it says "Limited or no connectivity". ANy idea?

what encryption are you using (if any)? Is your wifi station an Apple or other-made product?

...and start planning to upgrade everything to using WPA-WEP is a joke, poo on a stick, useless, worthless, bad and otherwise not useful. Seriously, it's worse than no security at all. And WPA includes the key/password entry algorithm as part of the standard, so you don't have to worry about entering things differently on one machine.
