Hopefully this is not a FAQ but would some kind soul tell me if I can use Windows Internet Explorer to access the web via my local AirPort? Does it matter if I use Bootcamp or Parallel for this? Thanks.
 
Airport is standard Wi-Fi or 802.11b or Wireless-B. Airport Extreme is also known as 802.11g or Wireless-G. Only if your Windows computer is configured for 802.11a will it be unable to access Airport.
 
Obviously, you mean to use AirPort on your _intel Mac_ (not some PC) to access the internet when using Windows on the intel Mac. That's no problem. In BootCamp, you are fully booted into Windows XP, and the AirPort card is recognised as a normal WiFi card. In Parallels, your virtual machine (Windows, probably) just bridges what you're using on OS X. If that's WiFi, then Parallels will use that WiFi connection.
