Hi:

HP has this policy of retiring support for consumer class PC's once they have reached 10 years of age.

That is why you can't find any drivers for any model that was made in 2011/2012 and earlier.

This reputable 3rd party website has the drivers you need for your notebook:

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, there are no drivers for the LAN card on this page.

I noticed that ftp.hp.com is still working. Maybe the drivers will be there?

You're very welcome,

On the dv6000 notebooks with the AMD processors, the nvidia chipset driver is the driver that also installs the ethernet driver.

The driver page for your model didn't have it, so use the one from the base model dv6000z.

You can also use any of the other drivers from this model since there aren't so many XP drivers on the support page for yours.

Yes! it works! A year ago, I looked for these drivers for a week and gave up. Now I can finally play some old games! Thank you very much!
