You will need to load up the Windows drivers for the Nvidia card and
your ethernet card. There is usually a CD with all the necessary drivers
that comes with the box, but failing that you will need to download them
from the manufacturer's web site (the relevant card manufacturer, I mean).

It's something I like about Ubuntu in that you don't have to do this! It
just works out of the box!

Regards,
Tony.

P.S., Posting about Windoze on an Ubuntu mailing list is probably not a
good idea!
