Does your ethernet controller show up in the device manager? If so does it have a '!' or '?' next to it?

it is also possible that there might be some Vista compatibility issues, Vist isn't 100% compatible with everything. Just a thought but it might not be hte problem here.

I'd go to the device manager and open up the properties for the controller and see what vista is saying is wrong.
