Hi everyone.
In this last days asked me to repair any computers for a little organization.
I spent first days try to understand what they could have and yesterday I started to format to rebuild WindowsXP (OS they have).
Format was successful except now, the first pc I format, don't recognize the LAN card integrated.
The pc model is ASUS 8-vkx and the integrated LAN is ASus P35 158 19w9.
My first problem is tha I was looking for drivers but it seems they vanished from the net.
Moreover I don't understand because all drivers had been installed except for LAN... is possible there's an error somewhere?
And also... I could I found the problem? I think if I understand what's going wrong I could try to repair.

Thank you all

Firstly...gonna state this right away: Your company should NOT be using XP when connected to a network at all unless it's only an internal network not connected to the internet. XP is End of Life and is no longer supported by Microsoft.

As for finding the driver...if we can...do the following:
Open up Device Manager

On the Ethernet adapter, if it has a yellow exclamation mark, do the following:
Right click -> Properties -> Details tab

Post the following info:
Under "Hardware Ids" in the dropdown, it should have something like VEN_####&DEV#### ; post that section, where #### = some alphanumeric combination.
