My hard drive went out and I didn't save any of my drivers.  So far I have the new hard drive up and have installed drivers for sound.  It seems my only problem is that I can't get on the internet using wired.  I can get on using a usb wireless but where i am going to put the computer can't receive a signal so I am wanting to use the internet wired connection i had before.  However, my onboard LAN can't seem to find the modem to get on the internet.  I think it would have to do something with downloading a driver from the driver section but I don't know which one.  Can anyone help me?  Also, what else must I do??  I am old and having a hard time remembering what to do.  :emotion-6:
