You need togo to gigabytes web site. Click on support and then select your motherboard. What you need are the motherboard inf files or driver and the lan driver.

click on support and downloads then put your motherboard in the search box GA-8I845GVM and you should see one result listed under the 775 socket types. Click on the download tab and then select your operating system.
You probably should get all of the driver but the two you need are the intel inf under chip set and the realtek under lan. Run the INF first then reboot if required and run the lan driver. After that you should be able to setup your lan and get on the net..
Usually it is the audio that won't work and the lan runs fine on the default drivers. Also the default video driver may no have all he control option as the one from the download page.
I hope this helps.
