vista-cannot connect to internet

[Hamster]

Need some help here please!
I've just installed vista ultimate 32bit as a dual boot. Installation went without a hitch but i cannot connect to the internet.
I'm on a wired connection to a router so expected internet to be up and running as soon as i installed the network card drivers.
The pc seems to be connected to the network ok but i can't seem to access any web pages.
Any ideas?

Thanks

perhaps your router's being annoying like mine did once and putting you on the wrong subnet or something - I once ended up getting an IP from my router that was 192.169.2.something so it wouldn't connect to the internet.

Thanks for the suggestion.
It's definately on the right subnet (router is 192.168.1.254 and pc is 192.168.1.67.
This has really got me scratching my head.
I think it's more appropriate to put this post in the networks and internet section so i am going to repost there.
Mods please delete this thread from OS.

Thanks
