Hi,

Problem - After upgrading to new computer (with vista pre-installed), I
cannot get our satellite broadband connection going because the modem is not
compatible with vista!

Several frustrating calls to our large-multinational ISP were useless. No
support.

I have been told to use the old computer (with XP on it ) as a gateway. Cant
do that because the HDD is corrupted or damaged.

I have my original XP cd, so my question is can i install xp onto the new
computer alongside Vista and get the internet connection going?

The modem is a DW4000 connected by USB.

Any help would be great thanks.
