Vista network problems

[Cider]

Hi all

I know vista driver and network problems is becomming a cliche however AO is the only web forum I use so help would be appreciated.

I did a clean install of Vista ultimate on a serperate harddrive justincase something went wrong.

No1. Vista doesnt seem to pick up my lan ... icon letting you connect to the internet. Device manager picks up network controller, I install the driver (my xp and 2k driver which seems to go through) and it goes through succesfully. However an exclamation mark still stands there in device manager and vista doesnt pickup lan therefore I cannot connect to the internet. [network cable unplugged] < however this works when booting into XP.

Same goes for Base system devices and an audio driver.

The internal modem I am using is a PCI ADSL modem. Maybe another driver will work but cant seem to find one.

As I cannot connect to the internet when booting into vista it is quite time consuming booting into Xp and vice versa trying to sort out drivers.

My board I have is: GA-K8N Pro-SLI ...

I know people have vista comming out their ears but any help will be appreciated. When I get this problem sorted out and am able to connect to the net with vista I will make posts on what I did and so on with certain apps/hardware in vista.

Thanks for your time.

Cheers

I found this on a forum somewhere. Precisly my problem.

I've recently installed RC2, but can't get my modem to work. It's a Conexant ADSL PCI modem... I can't find any specific Vista drivers, so have been playing with the XP drivers. THe drivers seem to take, but in XP the modem is setup via a control panel applet that is part of the driver package, but Vista won't let this applet run, so no way to setup the modem.

It's a generic card, so no manufacturer to ask for help. Can any of you help?

Modem is: Conexant PCI ADSL moden, however comes up as a network adapter. I have failed to get a driver for this. Please can you guys check your websites, it would be appreciated.
