I recently went from Windows Vista to Windows XP SP3. In doing so, I found out afterward, my laptop doesn't have any network drivers at all for Windows XP. Can anyone lead me to where I can download them, so I can transfer via USB to my laptop?

download cpuz..it will give you system information about your laptop. Then you can search for drivers matching your laptop. If the network is integrated then you probably have to install the chipset drivers for the model of your laptop

Both Mike's and Susendeep's answers are excellent. If you still can't find a driver, use the chipset (or, depending on the laptop, the wireless NIC) information to find a driver by simply googling the exact model and "XP" (e.g. "RealTek RTL8139/810x XP" but without the quotation marks).

If the driver can't be found within the
Gateway Support
downloads you will have to find out the chipset of the network adapter and try the manufacturers homepage.The chipset information should be either stated in your systems specification or you can use a tool like
SIW
to get the details.
