I recently formatted my hard-drive and re-installed Windows XP, however since doing this I lost whatever driver it was I had that allowed me to use the internet via my ethernet cable, (stupidly) I've long lost my driver discs and now haven't a clue where to get the correct driver to use for my PC.

I'm not sure exactly what will help anyone work out which driver I would require but I have an 'AMD Athlon Processor 3500+' and my motherboard is a 'Epox 9NPA+ Ultra'.

I would be incredibly greatful if anyone could point me in the right direction and help me get my home P.C back on the internet. Cheers. Karma

CLICKY ME

There you go, that should cover it. It just needs the mobo drivers.

Thanks for the 'speedy' reply, however when I installed this I still couldn't use the internet, I tried setting up a network connection but had no success when trying to connect, I have realised that when I go to network connections there seems to be one missing, I am sure there were two network connections but now all I see is 1394 adapter.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem may be? all the wires etc are connected... Confused

Strange, bog standard NF4 motherboard. If it's picking up the firewire then I fail to see why it's not seeing your ethernet. What's device manager saying?
