So im strying to put together this server for a customer and the motherboard is the ASUS M4A785-m EVO motherboard. I installed server 2008 on it and tried to get LAN drivers for it, but all the asus site had was windows 7 drivers. So i tried to install those and they didnt work. Now i cant find any drivers for the LAN or anything. please help me.
 
Should have found out if the motherboard supported that operating system before you purchased it.

What about chipset drivers? Are they only for win7?

Might be able to just buy a nic card or something.

If you knew what the lan chip was maybe you could go to that company website and try to see if they have some kind of generic driver.

Are you looking in the right place on Asus's site? I dont have the serial no. of your board (for look up), but for the M4A785-M there are drivers for everything from LINUX, WIN 2K on up thru XP, VISTA and 7, both 32 & 64 bit flavors. The link for the various OS drivers for the LAN is seen in the available downloads.

Personally I think that you havent got the right spot on Asus's site for the download. Some tricks also are to look at the LAN chip of your MB and compare the specs. of adjacent Asus MBs model numbers using the same chip then inspect the support availability for those adjacent MB's. Also (like in the case of Fujitsu), check to see if the manufacturer has sites in other countries. For example, Fujitsu's Singapor site often offers drivers for additional OSes not offered or supported on their USA site. (Probably has to do with different technology emphases associated in different countries.)
