Windows desktop OSs only support ONE network/internet connection at one time; therefore, it will not work

As Emerald says, any given instance of Windows will only use ONE internet connection exclusively, ignoring all others.

However, there is a twist here. Windows 7 Ultimate supports XP Mode. I haven't used XP Mode personally, but if it's like most VMs (virtual machines), you can use one internet connection on the host OS (Win7), and pass the other internet connection to the guest OS (XP).

IOW, if one instance of Windows isn’t enough, just create another! No, it's not absolutely ideal, maybe even a bit clumsy, but it should work. I've done it myself w/ Oracle VirtualBox (which has the ability to seamlessly integrate the guest OS into the host OS, very cool).

Ok, so I don't have another windows 7 key, for virtualbox, but I do have Ubuntu on one. Maybe, I can get that to work with the other connection?

Yeah, any OS will work. I only suggested XP Mode because you receive a free license for XP when you buy Windows 7 Ultimate. But if you want to use another OS, and you're comfortable w/ it, go for it.

Ok, thank you for the help.
