So the 8429 system is a S50, a slimline desktop model, which is probably why you can't find drivers. However, the NIC in that system is just an Intel NIC, so go to Intel's web site and look for the driver there.

If worst came to worst, go buy yourself a $10 NIC that is supported by Server 2008 and put it into a PCI slot.
