Do you know if the network controller integrated in the motherboard? Normally Windows Vista should detect the correct drivers but it could not hurt to reinstall the drivers. You can download the drivers from the manufacturer web site of your network controller or motherboard.
But before doing that, here are a few easy things to try.
-Run Windows Vista network diagnostic
-Is the network cable properly connected at both ends
-Restart the router and/or modem
-Update Windows Vista
-Look in the device manager if there is a hardware conflict with the controller
Please let me know if you need more help on reinstalling driver.
