Missing Network Controller

Question

I accidentally uninstalled the Network Controller for my computer and now can't seem to re-install it as I don't know where to find one. So I'm unable to access the Internet.    I own a Dell Optiplex GX110. This is an older machine that probably had Windows 98 (or ME or NT) installed originally. At the time I purchased it - as a used computer - it had (and still has) Windows XP Professional as the operating system.   A few days ago, I accidentally uninstalled the Network Controller (don't know the actual software name). At first I thought that all I needed was to install a Network Driver so I went to the support.dell.com to look for a Network Driver.   I got home and in trying to install I realise that the problem is not with the network driver - but is with the network controller. From what I see in the screenshot below, the Network Driver is there okay but the Network Controller is what was accidentally uninstalled and the computer cannot find it anywhere to install no matter what I try Any ideas how I can find the Network Controller for Windows XP Pro for my DELL? Thanks

For that old of a machine, the XP disc should have the driver.
