I just reinstall my window xp to my notebook (acer aspire 5500z). But I can't get online because the driver for modem (pci modem), network controller and Ethernet controller can't be found and I need to reinstall it. Where I can find it?
Your help much needed and appreciated.

What you can try to do is find the hardware componets in your defective system and "delete" them. The computer will give you an error but continue anyway. Restart the computer and windows will reinstall all the drivers. That should do enough to get you online. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling the drivers from the start-up disc. Worst case snerio you'll have to make sure to do a clean install instead of an upgrade of windows to restore your pre-existing drivers.
Downloading drivers works only if you have a pre-existing internet connection, of course one other thing you could try (and, this would only work if you're manufacture puts the drivers in a zip file) is if it comes in an exe file you have to manually activate. Use a working internet-based computer and put the drivers on a flash drive. Insirt the flash drive, (unzip the file if needed) and install the driver. Once it says installation complete restart the computer to clear your RAM (Random Access Memory) and try reconnecting to the internet.

Has your problem been solved? If not, have you tried downloading the 802bg driver? This is for your wireless radio to connect to a router, and straight on to the Internet.
As for your LAn, download the LAN_100m and LAN_giga. One of it should work with your adapters.
