This is going to sound retarded, but I'm really new at all this. How would I get
the drivers? Download them from Intel (I have a PRO/100 VE Network Connection),
right? Cause when I browse to look for it, it won't show .exe files. Also, I don't
think Intel has any drivers for my card. btw, out of curiosity, what NIC do you
have? Thanks again.
