And they both work. How do I remove one of them?

You should be aware that you have not downloaded SP2 - you downloaded the
Release Candidate of SP2, a still in test and possible buggy test release.
If you are having issue then either post to the appropriate newsgroups to
support the Preview Release at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/sp2preview.mspx

If you are having problems please de install the SP2 Preview and continue to
use Windows Update until we releases the final Service Pack.

You installed a Beta, and now you are encountering problems? No big surprise
there. Your best bet is to un-install it immediately.

There is only one problem. In the control panel there are now
two Network Connection icons. How do you remove one of them?

Tip to uninstall this beta. Go to control Panel->Add and Remove Programs.
There is a check box at the top of the window to show installed Windows
Components. check it and you should see the option to remove SP2.

If you go to the page Mike gave the URL for, there are directions there for
setting up a news reader for the SP2 newsgroups.
