I just installed WinXP Pro SP2. I noticed I have NO NETWORK ADAPTORS presemt so I can't access the internet (I'm currently using a different pc.)

The pc I just installed XP on has a built in NIC. Any suggestions on how I can discover/download/install the proper drivers? I can't get Windows to recognize the a NIC is even there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -TomE

do you have the disk for the MB, or get the MB model number and version number and go to their site and download the drivers

I do not have the/a MB disk. Can I get the MB model # and other info via a utility or is it physically printed on the MB.

it's silkscreened on the MB, look in the center for the model number, and look along the edge for the ver. number

Enable LAN and/or built in wireless in BIOS.
