GigaByte GA-M61VME-S2, Windows Vista LAN problem

I cant use the onboard LAN 10/100 in Vista, device is detected but it
cant get IP in a DHCP LAN, I also tried force an IP manually without
results. It works fine in XP

I tried the last drivers for this chipset from Nvdia without luck, only
solution is install a PCI Realtek card but actually my onboard LAN is
completely useless. Any ideas??

TIA

If the drivers for your motherboard and your onboard NIC (often separate
drivers which you would get from the motherboard mftr., not from Nvidia
even though the board has an Nvidia chipset) don't work then as you say
- throw in a standalone NIC and be done with it. If you didn't get the
drivers from the motherboard mftr., I would try that first. If you have
an OEM type of computer such as a Dell, HP, Sony, etc. you would get the
drivers from them since most of them have proprietary hardware made just
for them.
