Did you attempt to install either of these drivers before you installed the chipset driver?  If so, you may have to start over because it is absolutley essential that the chipset drivers be the first device drivers installed.

No - I think I did the Ethernet drivers first...  Will try the two again... 

I tried both of those - no go...  Bad motherboard ???

 

If you have the Gigabit network adapter, the drivers are at:

If you have the 10/100 network adapter, the drivers at:

Both are ethernet adapters.  Note for the future - it's always a good idea to know exactly what you have on your computer and have the drivers ready for those devices before you reformat the hard drive.  Good luck.
