    Dual Boot Internet Connection


    I just installed XP SP3 on the second hdd (drive D) on my computer. I can get the internet while I'm using Windows 7 on my C drive but not in XP. I'm using a Sprint Data card that's plugged into a Linxsys router. I need the internet to activate the copy of Spore I legally purchased (I hate DRM so much). I've already tried going to the create new connection wizard in the control panel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this in. I wasn't sure where else to go.
