Check in the system bios for on board network adapter

You should simply use another computer with access to the internet, download the drivers you need, copy them to a flash card for instance and then install them on your Windows 2003, probably you'll also have to configure the IP address of your Ethernet Card if your ISP doesn't use DHCP.

You have a nForce chipset? If so drivers are available at nvidia.com Just choose your chipset http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us select Product type nForce.

1394 is your Firewire adapter. What motherboard are you using?
