I have a motherboard that says DA0S20MB6F2 on it. It was in an iron port box. I can't get Windows to see the NICs on it. Why not? What do I have to do to make the NICs visible?

This might be a Dell PowerEdge 750 Server Motherboard, technical specifications here.

Networking is defined as : Dual embedded Intel Gigabit NIC, Intel PRO/100S; Intel PRO/1000 MT; Intel PRO/ 1000MT Dual Port. You'd better check which one(s) you've got.

The Dell Network drivers may be downloaded from Drivers & Downloads for PowerEdge 750. The Dell drivers installations are normally harmless, since they don't install if the right hardware is not present.
However, you're quite limited in your OS choices: Windows 2000, Server 2003, Server 2008, Red Hat Linux.
Otherwise, you'll probably hope to find drivers on the Intel site.

Nics are Intel Pro/100 or 1000.

Another possibility is the previous owner used their own nics and disabled the mobo nics in the BIOS.
