Here is how I installed my drivers for the onboard lan.
Go to Start/My Computer
RIGHT click on my computer and select Properties.
From that screen select the Hardware tab
Select device manager
Look and see if you have any yellow exclamation marks
If you do put the ASUS CD in the drive that came with your motherboard and
cancel out of the autorun.
Right click on the sub item device with exclamation point and select update
driver
Windows will check the CDROM disk and usually finds the driver.
I just built mine yesterday and found several items with yellow exclamation
marks and fixed all of them this way.
Hope this helps.
