I've tried the "Plug and Pray" method. I've tried looking on the site for drivers. I'm just stumped. Anyone know where I can get drivers for my network card and set it up?

Depends on the make/model. Without knowing that, nobody's gonna be able to give you much in the way of useful advice.

Honestly, though, virtually any network card on the market right now should be auto-detected by WinME or better, unless it's something really funky or *really* new.

that doesn't help much, look at the card directally and see if you can pull something like a chipset ID or something,

things like "appolo mars" would tell us that its an appollo mars chipset or at least give you something to google on.

once you have that, hit up driverguide.com and search there

is the card stuffed?

i once tryed a 2nd hand network card in my computer. linux reported it was a tulip, but it was actually something else and saying it was a tulip because it was semi-static-fried ;-).

if that card really was a tulip that would of been sw33t :-)
