Hey, I'm trying to get Windows XP Home (on my MacBook Pro) to work on my school's ethernet network. The connection manager thing insists that it's connected (which it is), but Internet Explorer insists that it's not connected. Is this some bull crap limitation of XP home, or is this something that I can fix?
