Have you enabled file and print sharing?

Sounds like it's not getting an IP address. Is DHCP enabled on the router?

Oh theres one more really starnge thing in hardware I can see network adapters , but only stull like WAN etc , i cant find a integrated network card there and Ive only got drivers for vga and 3d audio from msi ....

oh,
so you don't think the NIC is installed.

Can you see it in Device Manager?
Have you enabled it in BIOS?

Have you installed the nforce4 drivers? Because you're NIC is provided by the nforce4 chipset, you need to install these drivers before you can use your NIC.
