i recently bought a pci network card, specifically a a Intel PWLA8391GT 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter. after the hardware install, i booted up, and to my dismay, vista doesnt recognize that ive installed a new network card. im using the card to hook up my xbox 360, so that i can access xbox live through the university's network. i have the xbox hooked up to the pci network card via crossover cable, and when i turn the xbox on, i get green leds on the back. you think you can help me get windws to co-operate?

Have you tried different pci slots?
sorry for the questions, but i'm trying to eliminate all the things I've had to do in cases such as yours.

I would try removing the card
Installing the correct (Vista) drivers
Shutdown
Reinstall the hardware making sure the card is seated properly /s securely
Reboot and check device manager for the card / connectivity

so you're saying to remove the card entirely, and then install drivers, then place the card back in? when i already have the card in there, and i try to install drivers, the installation tells me, at the end, that no intel hardware was found. and yes, i did try switching pci slots, though when i did, i got a beep sound from the mobo, so i think im gonna switch back.
