HP 2000 Notebook PC
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hello,

   Recently, I've installed Windows 7 on an old HP 2000 Notebook. The OS runs fine, but the drivers for WAN Mini-port and Ethernet port aren't updated and don't allow me to connect to the Internet in any way through it.

   I've tried finding drivers for it on my desktop, which I will then transfer to the laptop via USB, but I've had no luck finding any on the HP website. When I try to find drivers for my laptop's model, it says that there aren't any. I've had no luck anywhere either. If someone could link me to any downloads or knows anything I can do about this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you for your time
