    Hey,

    I just tried bootcamp today. The installation went off seamlessly. I installed all the drivers and stuff. I have some problems.

    I'm not able to connect to the internet through my ethernet cable which is connected to a router. What do i do?

    Also the backlight on the keyboard is not completely turning off. Is that a common problem?

    Oh, and i'm running windows sp sp3.

    Thanks.

    Make yourself a nice cup of tea and have a look here:

    Apple Discussion Forums

    Basically the Boot Camp drivers for the newest MBPs are crap. I have not heard of the Ethernet problem before, but the backlight staying on is a known fault. There are serious sound/microphone issues also.

    Got the ethernet problem fixed. Just had to manually install the maxwell ethernet drivers.

    But the backlight problem still remains.

    when i had vista installed through bootcamp, I found if my keyboard was off, it stayed off unless I turned it on.. if it was on I could never get it to turn all the way off.
