or is the window only closed? It seems that you connected to the internet under Windows and while the computer has authorized Windows to use internet, OS X hasn't. Wild guess but maybe. Open Parallels and disconnect any networks, then try reconnecting under OS X.
I'm running a Macbook Pro with Leopard. I've had no problems connecting to our wireless network until this morning. Now I can't connect. In System Prefences -> Network, on the left side in the box Airport says "Not Connected", but on the right side on right side it says "Status: Connected" and then below that "Parallels Host-Guest is currently active and has the IP address xxxxxx". I do have Parallels on my computer so I can run Windows, but I'm not currently using it. On the left side in the box, the top entry is "Parallels - Host Guest" and the second entry is "Parallels NAT". The airport signal strength is good. It seems like part of my computer sees the airport fine and has authenticated things with my correct password, and another part doesn't see it. The little airport icon at the top shows a strong signal detected.
Any ideas how I can fix this and connect to the wireless network?
Thanks.
Eric
