Bump

wake up people I`m back in akola and while my pc was waiting for a new smps, i just decided to install a fresh windows xp on a second partition and now i can use the internet from this os.but i dont want to waste 3gb of space for a second copy of windows xp and then more to install the applications that i need to use on the net.so please help me with this problem of mine.

I could use the dial-up connection successfully in pune.could do everything i wanted.but in akola the same problem arose....someone has to be expert enough to tell me this...isnt it possible to use internet from two different isps(in my case pune and akola bsnl) on the same os-Winxp?
if thats the case then i think microsoft is amongst the stupidest software developers in the world!!!
