Yo tony,

don't you still have the cd you got with you're motherboard? That disc contains all the drivers for everything on your MB. it will definitely be on there.

Is it enabled in the bios? might be worth a check in there before running around for drivers.

sjb007, if windows sees a netcard even with an exclamation mark beside it means the bios has it enabled.

tony, what is the make & model# of the computer or motherboard?
