Issue with ethernet drivers with 680i

Hello,

I have decided to try out the RC of Windows 7. I believe its build 7100 x64 version

It installed fine on my system, however my ethernet and sound hardware are not enabled.

I am running an Nvidia 680i motherboard with 2 gigabit connections
I have a 8800 GTS 640MB video card
I have an older creative live! gamer sound card
I am running the OS on a 32GB SSD with a 500GB storage drive

In what windows 7 considers device manager I have an unknown pci device and unknown audio device.

The audio device I can work on at a later time once I can connect to the internet

I am unable to find a driver for the ethernet however.

I have downloaded and tried

15.35_nforce_win7_64bit_international_whql.exe

15.37_nforce_win7_64bit_international_whql.exe

nforce_winvista64_15.08_english.exe

I clicked on the exe which installed fine and let the system reboot. When the system comes back up I still have the red 'X' on the ethernet icon in the system tray and I get the (not connected/no internet access/yellow exclaimation point.) when its clicked on.

Is there a specific driver I need to point to through the "Have Disk" option?

I have tried pointing to some of the installed drivers which are included with windows 7 with no luck.

Presently I am downloading files on my laptop and transferring them to my desktop through an 8gig stick

Any help?

I will check back through the day if any more information is needed.

Thanks in advance
