net connection with dual boot

I just recently am able to dual boot on either Vista or XP but I can only connect to the internet when booted in Vista. How can I set my computer up to also go on the internet when I am in XP?

What is your internet connection:

Dialup?
ADSL?
Cable?

Have you installed the motherboard drivers for Win XP?

This is info is needed...

That's your problem, install the Win XP motherboard drivers which include the ethernet drivers...

Yes, you must install the motherboard drivers for the xp operating system.
You should also install the video card drivers and soundcard drivers as well for XP.
