Please help

Interesting. That motherboard does not appear to have Vista Drivers for LAN. I'd probably recommend attempting to download and install the Windows 7 LAN drivers from here.

Good afternoon,

Although unlikely to be the problem, try a different known working ethernet cable to rule that out. I imagine it is a driver problem? What Network Interface Card are you using?

Open Device manager and tell me what is has under network adapter? Also does it have a little yellow triangle or not?

A quick look on the Gigabyte website lists LAN drivers for that specific motherboard for Windows XP, 7, 8 and 10. But no Vista.

I'd try installing the drivers from the disk again, going through a custom installation, and looking for a driver named LAN.

I don't know why Gigabyte wouldn't have a download available for Vista though.

EDIT: I'd try my solution after you've tried Wolfs solution

the network adapter says Realtek RTL8168/8111 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS6.0) and yes it does have a yellow triangle

is it possible that if i get a different windows like win 7,8.1,10,etc... that the drivers will install better?
