Hello,

I am having an issue where after Vista is insalled on my PC I have no Lan available. I tried using the XP drivers for the Lan/nic card to no avail. I then formatted pc, install XP, then Vista, same results. Next tried XP 64bit then Vista on top of it.. no go. Vista see's my card, but upon attempting to install drivers it errors out that the data is invalid. Tried compatablity mode, all end in the same results..

My system specs are

Abit AV8 MB
AMD 3400 64
ATI 9700 PRO
512 Mushkin ddr l2

The Nic card is the onboard one, Via gigabyte lan. Also tried a NetGear card, all end in the same results..Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.
