OK, it looks like there are not any windows 7 network adaptor drivers on the M/B disk
I've done some hunting around and found this on the chip manufacturer's site
Realtek
The second entry on Windows should be the driver installer for your system, be aware that the Realtek site is well known for extremely slow downloads at times so don't worry if it seems to take a long time.
Once you have this network driver loaded we still have the issue of how to connect to the Plus-net Router, so I would probably advise you look into a wireless USB dongle which should allow you to connect to the router without having to run a long cable from the router to the system.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Upgraded-Auk...1200+usb&psc=1 is an example of the sort of thing you need, this is one that is compatible with your PlusNet Router, but is also compatible with your Netgear router and will get the best out of it should you decide to use that in the future. Other devices are available both on-line and on the high street but I do think that wireless is the way to go in your situation
