I've just installed windows vista home premium and i noticed that none of my two onboard ethernet adapters are not seen in device manager.How can i fix this issue?
In windows xp the onboard ethernet adapters work.

No they aren't listed in device manager,so i can't update a device that isn't seen.

Is all enabled in the bios or have you tried clearing the bios to see if it is picked up.

Yes it's all enabled in bios and the bios reset doesn't help.So i don't know what's the catch , because as i said in xp they work.

Well I am not sure maybe e-mail DFI they may have a bios update or get a PCI Lan card.

Can you tell us how you fixed it please incase other people have this problem.

The problem was that having two ethernet networks on the mainboard and having both enabled caused a conflict in windows vista by canceling each other.By disabling one of the ethernet networks and reinstalling windows vista ,the one left enabled is identified and works correctly.I guess that windows vista has to be improved to work with two ethernet networks.
