It could be that this modem has used usb for so long that it will never recognise ethernet although everything appears to be in place. Since this computer is new it must have an ethernet card fitted, I would have thought.
Any further suggestions appreciated. Since Virgin Media don't yet officially offer support for Vista they will not change a modem which worked fine with XP.

Any further suggestions??
If the ethernet port on the modem is faulty then they *Should* change out the modem regardless if your using XP or vista.


Have you tried another cat5 cable to ensure that it's not a simple case of a faulty cable.

Also check vista is actually seeing the network card inside the computer.

Start > Control panel > Network and sharing center > Manage network connections.

Your network card should be visable to vista there.
