ADSL Internet is not working.

HI,
i recently built a pc with kv8 pro motherboard(purchased thorugh scan). But i seem to have some problems with it. I can't ping google.co.uk!!!!!!. The error it says can't find host name. Now that means internet not working but my sister's pc on the same interent (through a router) works perfectly and pings google as well. I think it is somethign wrong with the network controller.
Please help.

Is ur LAN adaptor recognised and installed correctly in ur OS?

If you can ping 'localhost' 127.0.0.1, then there's a good chance ur protocols are setup correctly. From then on it's most likely a patch cable, or IP/DNS issue..

Check that you have DCHP setup correctly, or that you have valid IP addresses for your PC, and a primary and secondary DNS server of your ISP.

If this is all set correctly, then it could be a firewall restriction, either on ur PC, or on the port of the router hub that you are plugged into..

Let me know how you get on,
S.

What Modem are you using speedy ??

It is sorted now. The latest driver for the lan controller fixed it :)
Thanks for the help.
