Can’t find onboard NIC with windows server 2008

driversnetworkingwindows-server-2008

I'm trying to setup a windows server, but I can't seem to get it to install ethernet drivers 🙁
motherboard is ms-6743 chipset 82865g/pe/p(intel)
The MSI drivers specifically for this motherboard are bad links. Not surprising… MSI is rarely helpful.
Sisoft Sandra doesn't see any network devices, and all of my leads to drivers have reported that there is no network adapter to install a driver for.
The light is ON on the mobo, the onboard setting in bios is ON and the computer worked just fine with a standard install of windows 7 about a month ago.

I don't know what to do 🙁

That chipset uses an Intel 82562EZ on-board ethernet controller if I'm not mistaken.

The drivers you need are available from Intel. Download them using another computer, transfer the installer and run it.
