Laptop is missing ethernet drivers „10-29-2017 07:03 pm thanks for responding so fast i did the steps as you intruscted and a messaged popped up as soon as i was finished saying."the realtek network controller was not found.. I can not find a driver that will work with my cnet pro200wl pci fast ethernet adapter to connect to the internet. i do have xp on the same computer so i can download drivers and access them through my folders any help would be great that you so much.
