i have a mid 2009 macbook pro running windows 7 64 bit on boot camp. My Wired AND wireless have the same problem as follows: When i play starcraft 2, the internet will randomly turn into "limited or no connectivity" and turn off and will require pulling out the ethernet cable or a repair/diagnose to fix this. this only occurs during starcraft 2, never during internet browsing or anything like that. Has anyone ever seen this problem before? It's incredibly annoying. This will happen maybe once an hour of sc2 play... strange that both wired and wireless internet do this. This problem never occurs in sc2 on OSX side. I also just updated to the latest drivers for boot camp.

I have the exact same problem. Annoyingly, when a game is loading after matchmaking, it will stall at the half way point (im guessing it is retrieving information from the internet) then when the map does load I get an instant 'you have been dropped'. More than half of my losses are through instant d/c.

Would love to hear if anybody else is running starcraft 2 on macbook pro, bootcamp windows 7 (32bit)

mid 2009 MBP with Win 7 64 bit in boot camp here as well. I don't seem to have your issue though. I get dropped maybe once every couple of weeks, nothing worth complaining about.

The performance is much better using bootcamp than with OSX

I'm not saying there isn't a performance issue with SC2 in OSX, but 10.6.5 tripled my frame rate on a similar machine, so you might consider giving OSX another try.

I don't run Windows on my mac, so I can't help with the actual issue.

I'm pretty sure this is a driver issue. Re-installing the drivers from your osx dvd might solve this solution.

I think there was a firmware update for this. I installed it on my parents macbook pro and it works great now. Don't remember where I got it though, sorry.
