Have you installed all the drivers that come on the Leopard Install DVD? If not, just boot into XP, insert the DVD and run the installation program.

when in XP check to see if you are pulling an IP? Check device manager to see if installed properly

Are you using a router or connecting directly to the cable modem?

If your going directly to the modem, one thing you might want to find out is if your ISP is MAC Address specific. Meaning, your NIC card's MAC address (not to be confussed with Mac) is registered and they are not allowing any other NIC cards access. Some ISP's still do this, others contain a list of MAC addresses so you don't even know it's happening.

The MAC address might be different in OS X and Windows (via bootcamp) even if they are the same card.

Definitely start out by doing some basic network/hardware troubleshooting first:

In Windows; is the network card recognized (not the firewire connector), if it is connected is it setup for auto obtaining IP, ensure it's not disabled, etc.

ok, No I did not load my mac DVDs but i have now, i think just the first disk will do it. Also, I am connected straight into my cable modem

OK i believe i have all my OS X Drivers, and still no internet

I will switch to XP now and check out device manager

also on my to-do list is preform trouble shoot.

THird check network card for auto obtain. OK thanks, i will get on it and let you now how it turns out. !!!!

Thats not possible its wired into the card. Its even printed on the hardware. However, it is possible to spoof, but windows doesn't do this by default.

Sorry I am a bit confused with your statement above. You need to install the drivers into Windows XP not OS X. This will enable the Ethernet (wired and wireless) in XP.

Did you do the following?

BOOT into Windows XP
Insert your Leopard Install DVD (First Disc) into the DVD drive
Go to 'My Computer' and look for the d: drive
Double Click on the Setup.exe file to install the XP boot camp drivers.

1394 is a Firewire connection. Disable that network connection unless you connect to your internet via firewire cable and not cat6 or cat5.

If that's your only connection then windows is not seeing your actual network/lan/ethernet adapter.
