I think the only idiot here is you for posting with such an idiotic reply. I
mean how dumb are you to not even know that your solution is not only dumb,
but probably the LAST thing in the world to do.

OP, Gary has the correct idea, something I have done countless times for
anything from NIC cards to swaping drive controllers. If this does not work
(i.e. don't have an available card) then Andre's would probably be second
step. Third step would be to use a "generic" or any compatible driver from
within Vista's own driver db. Look for "RTL8169/8110 Family PCI Gigabit"
