Unable to connect to the net

[stuartw101]

I built my new pc yesterday and i have been unable to connect to the internet using a wired connection. It notices the connection as it says connected, but when i look in status there are 0 packets sent and recieved.

Any idea how i can fix this? Could it be i have to download drivers for the motherboard (Asus P5B Deluxe)?

Thanks

Have you got the router set up correctly? Have you installed the mb drivers?

EDIT: latest drivers here - http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

Yeah router is fine, as im using the same one to connect to the net now I havent installed any drivers yet, i didnt see any that came with the mobo, and the only way to download them is if im on the net, i think anyway.

When im on the asus site, it allows me to download a BIOS driver, is this what i should get?

Thanks

Edit: I think i have found the driver disc actually.

You should have got a disk with the board. Install the stuff off that Chipset etc, dont worry about the BIOS for now.

Yep, that sorted it. The disc kind of threw me because it said vista drivers inside, im a fool lol.

The amount of mistakes i have made while building the pc, well atleast i will learn from them.

Hopefully get some pics up soon, once i sort the cables etc out.
