I recommend you to download and run Software Information for Windows Tool from the following link :
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/SIW.shtml
Or
http://www.download.com/SIW/3000-2086_4-10569778.html
This is easy to use.
As you said that it is an Integrated VIA Ethernet controller you can download the drivers from the following URL. Refer the chipset model from this site :

At first, try downloading your drivers from a Windows CD. Under the NIC's properties try to Update Driver (using windows cd, or some other CD that might have come along with the motherboard)
If that doesn't work, you can run START->RUN->dxdiag to see if it tspits anything out. But most likely, you may either have to download some sort of diagnostics software, or open up your computer and take a look at the board. There should be a model number on it somewhere in the plain view.
Good luck.

Download the Everest Home Edition. This will tell you everything you need to know about your PC. It may also have the links needed to upgrade your drivers. You can download the program from here:

there are quite a few tools in this list.
I personally prefer cpu-z - very compact, and provides a lot of useful info. Try different ones, see which ones you like best.

usually the model name is between one of the slots written in big letters.
for example here http://www.tomshardware.com/picturegalleries/200609151/asus-m2-crosshair-board.jpg
from the left side, the model number is after the 3rd expansion slot

do a search for "everest home edition" install it and run a quick report and that will tell you anything you want to know about your system it's free so don't worry about that
