P4P800 SE -- drivers for networking?

Hi,

I have just replaced the motherboard on my machine with a P4P800 SE. The
existing Soltek motherboard crapped out after just over 2 years from new
(conveniently out of warranty). Anyway, everything is running fine except
for the networking.

What I have is a Apple Mac that I use for all internet usage with an
ethernet cable connected to the PC so I can transfer files. The PC worked
via. a LAN connection in Windows 2000. As I understand, this is
automatically configured the first time Windows boots up. The "detecting
new hardware" dialog came up and told me that an ethernet controller was
detected. So far so good. I then inserted the CD that came with the
motherboard so that I could load the appropriate driver and Windows
scanned through it to find the driver. Unfortunately the end result was
that Windows said that it could not find any suitable driver ("what the
f**k?"). I then went to the ASUS web site and downloaded what appeared to
be the appropriate driver but still no go.

Now this thing is supposed to have a Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit ethernet
controller according to the manual, and indeed there is the ethernet port
on the motherboard. The manual mentions that normally there is a hub
connected to the port but in my case the cable is connected directly to
the Macintosh computer and that worked fine before. I do not want to have
to shell out and get a separate ethernet card! I'm sure I don't need to
do that!

So can anybody point me to the correct network drivers for this
motherboard? Or tell me how you did it?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Chris
