Unhappy Internet Drivers for Vista
We wiped our hard drive and now it won't access the internet (cable). Cox tech support said their install CD does not contain the drivers I need. What do I need to search for/download?

There are no "Internet drivers" for any OS.
You need the drivers for the device that you are using to connetct to the Cable modem.

What is the make and model of this machine and what version of Vista are you running?
