After installing Windows XP on my Mac (using Boot Camp), I can't receive internet...

...connection? I recently partitioned my hard drive on my MacBook so that I have both the Mac OS and the Windows XP OS. I can receive wireless internet connection on the Mac OS via Airport, but on the Windows OS I cannot receive neither wireless connection nor internet through a cable (which is properly connected).

When using Bootcamp, it says to install the Windows OS, then restart into Windows, then install some drivers and etc from the Mac CD that came with the laptop, and this is where I think my problem lies.

However, in order to install from the Mac CD I need the Service Pack 2 from Windows, which I cannot update to without internet.

How do I receive the internet connection and or the service pack 2 (or 3)?

Add. Info:
- I installed Windows XP Home Edition using a disc labeled "OPERATING SYSTEM. ALREADY INSTALLED ON YOUR COMPUTER. REINSTALLATION CD. MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION Including Service Pack 1a"
- I can start into Windows, but I cannot receieve internet connection

I apologize for unnecessary information- I am not familiar with what is needed. Thank you for you time
I realize that the problem is that Service Pack 2 holds the necessary things to be able to install drivers from the Mac CD, but I was wondering if there was a walkaround to this issue?
