Ethernet Adapter Driver

I've just had to re-install W2K Pro and I have an error pertaining to my
ethernet adapter driver.
Windows cannot find the correct driver. I do not know what type of adapter
I have.
How do I find out which driver to install to get the adapter working?
Do I have to open up the pc?

Thanks, Steve.

it here.

You can consult manufacturer of your PC.

Is this adapter integrated on motheboard or it is on add-on card?

If it is on motheboard and it is new brand of mobo, you need to install
motheboard drivers before w2k is able to recognize your nic.
