Vista - Cannot Connect to the Internet

Greetings,

I am currently having issues with my installation of my Vista 64 Ultimate. I had no problems for either Vista 32 or my Windows XP Professional. The reason I was installing the 64 bit was to utilize the 4 gb of ram I have installed. This is the system I currently have.

Asus A8N-SLI Premium Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 x2 4800+ (Toledo)
4 gb ram PC3200 DDR/Dual Channel
Windows Vista 64

I get an unidentified network from my PC
and a red "x" between my unidentified network and internet.

I am fairly new to this so any help or whatever more information would be needed, I will try to provide.

Thanks in advance,
Mark

How are you connecting to the internet wireless.

via cable modem, works with my wife's computer, which I am on now, and her laptop

Have you right clicked on the network icon and clicked diagnose and repair.

yes, even tried resetting the connection, after trying the cable, resetting the modem and router. Now is says it tried to repair the problem but a problem still exists, says I have local connection to network and no internet connection. I am figuring that it has to be a driver problem, since it works just fine when using the 32 bit Vista or XP Professional. One time it said it was connected to the interent, but would not open a webpage.

What type of router do you have. Your router could be blocking the MAC address for that computer.

Linksys...it's worked before, tried to reset it and all and still no change

Have you plug the cable in and restarted your computer and see if it worked.

yes, no difference, just getting frustrated with why this isnt working since it was working before. The only difference is Vista 64

in my device manager it shows 5 items that are missing drivers:

Multimedia Audio Controller (2)
RAID Controller
Unknown Device (2)

Says my network adapters are working just fine.

If this will help at all
