Since you didn't tell us what version of Windows you're using, we can't give you a link directly to the Network driver.
Go to the link Mary gave you and select your version of Windows at the top. After the screen updates, expand the list under Network and look for a Broadcom driver. You can download it on any PC and copy to desktop of the 570. Instructions to install it are on the page where you download it.
BTW: If you open Device Manager, is anything marked with X or !, in addition to the Network adaptor? In that case, you may need to install the Chipset driver first and then reboot before installing the Network driver.
Without the Chipset driver, the Network driver may not install or may not work. You'll find the right chipset driver listed on that Support page after you select the correct version of Windows at the top.
