Solve : Gigabyte GA-K8NS F18 Motherboard?

Answer»

Hello there. Can anyone help please. I have just bought a computer system and installed WIN 2003 on it. For some reason there is no net WORK device recognised in the device list. Am I right in thinking I need to download the mother board drivers to get this to show up? If so I DOWNLOADED from here http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/BIOS/Gigabyte/Gigabyte-GA-K8NS.shtml and I must be installing them incorrectly as I still cant get them to work....Am I doing the right thing please?

cheers for your helpThe file you downloaded from Softpedia appears to be a BIOS firmware upgrade. This is not something you should install without GREAT care, because flashing the BIOS with incorrect firmware could render your computer unbootable. (In essence creating a very large paper weight.)
In general I don't recommend downloading drivers from some random place. You should if at all possible download them directly from the motherboard manufacturer, in this case Gigabyte.
I SUGGEST you go to their driver download page and get the correct network device drivers.

The network driver should be included...
