Sister Lost Her NIC Driver

[jfnirvana292]

Ok, im reformatting her computer, but she lost her NIC driver. Im installing windows 2000 pro.. it doesnt automatically assign a driver to it.I built this computer about 4 years ago, but do not remember what make/model this NIC is..

So does anyone know an easy way of telling what make and model the NIC is, or any generic drivers i could use for it? Thanks!

take the NIC out and figure out what the main controller chip is, from there itll be pretty easy to find generic drivers...

Open it up and look at the chipset on the ethernet card? Or boot up knoppix or some other linux livecd and run lspci.
