next time you probably want to post this in the computer hardware and driver subsection: http://forums.d2jsp.org/forum.php?f=199

but since you are already here:

For any desktop, or for network cards that have been added after the computer was manufactured:
you need to find out what network card you have, so you can go to the network card manufacturer's website, and download the driver for that device

For laptops or premade computers:
go to your computer manufacture's website and there will be a place to download the driver for the network card that came in your model computer.



You'll notice you have 2 options for a premade desktop above. If you need to figure out what network card you have, and you don't know how, you can try programs like "Speccy" to tell you (just google that).

Pro tip: As you have probably figured out now, a missing network driver is a major pain in the ass since without it, you can't download a network driver! Once you do find the correct network driver and get it working, burn it to a disc or put it on some kind of external media so you don't have this problem again if you ever reinstall the OS on this machine!

Download Driver Genius, put it on CD/USB-Stick or something, and it updates every driver / gets you the latest ones.
(Do it on a computer wich has Internet Connection, and then put those Drivers to the computer missing them)

I mean like ..
Put the software to computer w/o drivers, it finds the names for drivers ( if i remember right ) then DL from internet, and put to other computer.

Google ; Driver Genius. It will find missing Drivers, but can't download them, so you have to Download those missing drivers (In this case ; Internet Drivers) from another computer with
access to Internet, and move those files/driver(s) to the computer without Drivers. It does work.

There you go, that makes more sense. Good job. The way you explained it before caused some confusion.
