Help with drivers for nic card please!

Options
Hi I have had virgin broadband installed but when I have installed the disk no network adaptor found came up, after calling Virgin they informed me that I would need to install the drivers for the nic card as the drivers for the ethernet connection are not installed. I have misplaced the disk to install the drivers but I have got the paper work which says Motherboard is ASUS A7N8X NVIDIA NFORCE2 with 10/100 ethernet LAN. Can I get a download from somewhere to install the drivers for the ethernet connection using this information as I dont really know how to open up the back of the computer. Any help would b much appreciated

    Direct link didnt work, just select

    Motheboard - from the first drop down box.

    Socket A(462) - From the second drop down

    then select your model

    You need the Nforce2 All in one driver package

    So have you clicked on the Driver Tab and the Update Driver button?

    Did you double click the downloaded file so it self extracts, then you can search for it or it may self install.
