Latitude D600 Windows XP install won't install network/other device drivers

Question

I have a Dell Latitude D600 which had a disk crash. I bought a new disk and re-installed Windows XP Professional from the original 'Reinstallation CD' that came with the unit. Everything seems to install fine but when it boots and I bring up I have no network connections, wired or wireless. The device manager lists 'Ethernet Controller', 'Network Controller', 'PCI Modem', etc under the 'Other Devices' category with the big yellow question mark next to them. If I look at the properties for any of these devices it says that the drivers are not installed. What do I need to do to get this to work? Thanks. Ron

Thank you for the info. But how do I tell which device is mine? For example, when I expand the network part of the download there are about 20 options. Some I can elinate such a broadband router and bluetooth. But how do I tell which one it is?

This was the only wired NIC card on that list. The list is not that hard to figure out.
