Building gaming computer. Internet isn't working.

[Soccerkid]

I just put all my parts in my computer and installed Windows 7, but I am not connecting to the internet. I am using an ethernet cable, and I know there is a connection running through it because it is the one I use for xbox live. My motherboard is an Asus m4a88t-m and it has like its own little operating system with it that allows me to get on to the internet as well, but I don't like its set up. Any ideas on why I can't get an internet connection when I have windows 7 up?

Is your ethernet listed under Network Adapters in Device Manager? What, if any, warnings or errors are in Device Manager?

Please show ...

Start, Run, CMD, OK to open a command prompt:

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

[Note that there is no space between the slash and ALL.]

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
