dell 8300n nic drivers windows 2008

hi I have an old 32bit dell 8300n that I still use and can install the following 32bit os:

- xp
- win 7
- win 2003
- win 2008

normally when I install the os for 'xp/win7' I install the drivers from my resources dell drivers cd successfully.
however when I attempt to install the 'nic drivers' on win 2008 standard 32bit it states that the os is the issue, so I am assuming I need compatable nic drivers.

question 1.  can anyone provide me with the exact url link so that I can hopefully get download these drivers  ?

I just realised I already have a 3rd party nic in place 905c type.

I was mistaken I was referring to the the following:

- intel chip v5.00.1012 - that I am supposed to install as per the standard drivers like I would if using xp or presumably win 7.
unless I don't need it.

oh yes that is what I did from my disc but it only shows it as:

r58201

 although the drivers on the website for download is:

 r58201_zpe.exe
not from your cd - from the xp install on disk
sound advice. even though I still have not located any chipset drivers for my dell p4, 8300n model yet.
