I have a built in lan on my desktop motherboard.
My OS doesn't support the Lan so I need to download drivers for it off the web.
I would do that, but I don't know what type the lan is. In device manager I says unkown for the manufacture and everything else.
So how am I supposed to find out the correct drivers for the lan.

My motherboard is an Intel P4 Desktop 82801BA, my OS is Windows XP sp2 ver 2002.

Could any of you could tell me how to get the correct driver installed?

If it is built in on your desktop motherboard. Is it enabled in the BIOS?

Yep - some on-board network interfaces need to be enabled in the BIOS settings. You might want to take a look there before you go on a crazy mad hunt for drivers. Windows should generally 'see' the device even if there are no drivers.

U can download eth driver through this like:-

Download Search Results

if the like doesn't work copy it then paste it on ur web browser

That link will work only if you have an Intel ethernet chipset

Thanks, Yes I checked and the lan was enabled.
Instead of installing the driver for the card, I put in a linksys wired ethernet adapter in and the computer had the drivers for it so it works fine.
I have a whole box full of ethernet adapters, so I thought this would be easier.
