How to install an Ethernet Controller driver for an Optiplex GX620

I am using a laptop and want to down load the driver for the Ethernet controller.   The info I get says to go on line with the GX 620 and download it.   I can't do that until I install the driver.   I have a USB thumb drive I want to put the driver on and then install it on the Desktop;  BUT the laptop is not playing nice and I am not sure how to copy that file after it has been downloaded to my laptop.    The laptop is using Windows 7  and Chrome to access the Dell site.  Copy and paste doesn't work.  Dragging it doesn't do anything and I am frustrated.     Any help would be appreciated.     THX in advance.   OC

Use the Dell FTP Website which has direct download links:

Or install Windows 7 on the Desktop opposed to Windows XP and use the following drivers:

Most such as the Ethernet driver are inbuilt into newer Windows versions.

Burn the driver to a CD and copy it that way.
