Windows XP Does Not Detect Network, Windows 7 Does

I have been using BSNL Broadband for last 2 years without any problem on my Windows XP PC.
Today I decided to install Windows 7.
But after installing Windows 7, I cant use Network on Windows XP, it says "No Network Connection" and Ethernet LED does not turn up. But as soon as I start Windows 7 I can use Network i.e. my Internet and Ethernet LED turns on.
Whats the problem?? Any way to fix it please??

hmm is your LAN driver installed properly in Windows XP?

Yes... Windows XP was installed before I installed Windows 7 on separate partition. I could use LAN with out any problem on XP but after I installed 7, I can use LAN only on 7 and not on XP!!

Strange. Well.....Try re-installing updated driver's for your mobo and NIC.
