I've just had to re-install W2K Pro and I have an error pertaining to my
ethernet adapter driver.
Windows cannot find the correct driver. I do not know what type of adapter
I have.
How do I find out which driver to install to get the adapter working?
Do I have to open up the pc?

Thanks, Steve.

You can pop the lid and get the FCC ID number off of your nic and identify
it here.

You can consult manufacturer of your PC.

Is this adapter integrated on motheboard or it is on add-on card?

If it is on motheboard and it is new brand of mobo, you need to install
motheboard drivers before w2k is able to recognize your nic.
