Welcome to Windrivers Justin

I have deleted your other thread, please do not post the same question twice.
if you do not know your motherboard
download this (http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,23043,RSS,RSS,00.asp) and unzip it and run it. It will give you the details... if you computer is branded, such as dell or compaq, let us know the exact model number.

What motherboard is this for?
it is a p4p800-vm

The drivers should be on the cd that came with the motherboard or download them here (http://www.asus.com.tw/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=P4P800-VM) the smbus will be installed using the intel chipset from here (http://www.asus.com.tw/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=P4P800-VM)

Sorry to tag on to this thread. I found it while searching for the same problem.

I had to reinstall windows xp pro and when finished had a yellow question mark against ethernet controller. My motherboard is an Asus P4P800 and I found the drivers here as I don't have a CD for it.

http://www.asus.com.tw/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=P4P800

The driver I believe I need is the top one but they only seem to have a DOS version. I downloaded it but have no idea how to install it and no instructions on how to seem to be on the site.

Anyone able to point me to or tell me an easy install guide for these. Or should there be windows drivers for it somewhere (although I can't find any through searches).

Many thanks
