You can get drivers for almost any motherboard if  you can get the right ID of the motherboard. You may have to download a utility to help you find the EXACT model number of the board. Once you have that, you NCAN locate the right driver set.

Meanwhile, network cards are now at very LOW prices. Either a PCI card or a USB adapter. The may be the easy way to solve your PROBLEM. In the USA, network cards or adapters sell for under $20, about what your family pays to have a fast-food lunch noways.  So tell the family to make their own sandwiches for a day and save the money to fix that computer.What is the status of your network adapter on device manager(flags/marks)? Did you install mobo/chipset driver first?

Did it work before? Have you tried checking for any ticked proxy settings,VPN, configured IP address,dialup or passwords? It should all be in Automatically obtain IP, DNS. Another cause would also be another firewall installed could be blocking your internet connection. If there is one, try using windows firewall instead.
