Windows Vista Wired Router Connection Problems

[Remuthra]

I recently finished dual booting Vista on my PC, along with my previously chosen Linux system, and while the system itself appears to work fine, it refuses to acknowledge the existence of the router it is plugged into. This doesn't appear to be a problem with the hardware itself, as my Linux system on the same computer can access the router fine. Third party programs running on Vista also do not appear to be able to "see" my router. Any idea what the problem might be?

Did load the MB drivers for the Lan on your motherboard, they come on the CD that came with your motherboard?

I don't actually have a CD that came with the motherboard. I installed Vista using an installation disk I had lying arounnd.
