So I have a mac, and with leopard I tried dual booting windows xp. I bought xp, partitioned my hard drive, and loaded on windows. It's working fine, except that I have no internet. See I'm running on a university broadband connection which I also registered to my mac OS. I'm not sure if this is a problem, or how I go about getting internet running on my windows OS. If anyone has any comments or suggestions they would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Did you install XP drivers for your NIC or ethernet card? If it's a USB device, you might need USB drivers or drivers specific to the USB device.
