You're very welcome.

Download the drivers you need from another PC.

Copy them to a USB flash drive.

Plug the flash drive into the nc6220 and you can either run them from the flash drive, (which takes a little longer for them to install), or you can copy the files from the USB flash drive to the windows desktop on the nc6220 and run them from the desktop, which will be a little faster.

to get the wireless connection set up which one should i use ?

thinking if i set that up then rest can come from the rest of the drivers ?

Can you post the hardware ID for the Network Controller device so I can see what driver you need from the list?

To find the hardware ID, go to the device manager.

Click on the Network Controller device with the little ? mark next to it.

Then click on the Details tab.

There should be a hardware ID that begins with PCI\VEN.....

Just post the top line, and I don't need the info after the & sign.

That's not it.

Do you have XP SP2 or newer installed?

You can't find the hardware ID without having SP2 installed.

Without the ID, all I can do is take a guess and do trial and error.

Go with the Intel driver first...
