I recently reformated and reinstalled XP but I overlooked gathering the drivers. I'm sure I would be able to get them if my computer could connect to the internet but unfortunately I need to get a driver in order to do that. The problem is I can't really find the driver. I looked under System Information and my network adapter is apparently a RAS Async Adapter, but I can't for the life of me find anywhere to get the driver and I'm starting to believe that it's because RAS Async Adapter doesn't really describe my network adapter correctly. I almost got something when I went to CNET but it took me to Microsoft Support or something and it started to scan this computer for updates so I just left cause whatever it finds will be useless to me no doubt.

Anybody have any ideas?

You're connected to the Internet right now, download them on the machine you're using and move them with removable storage.

I know, I get that. I'm asking if anybody knows a place to get drivers directly. Everywhere I go I get redirected to some driver manager download or driver scan. Very frustrating.

This is my preferred order for finding drivers:

1. PC manufacturer's web site, [for Dell use your Service Tag for easier searching]
2. Motherboard manufacturer's web site,
3. Device manufacturer's web site,
4. A "drivers" site, such as DriverGuide,
5. Anywhere you can find one that might work,
6. Let Device Manager try to find one.
7. Use Windows Update.

If you gave us the exact make/model of the computer and/or network adapter, we could probably be more help. Short of that, we're stuck with generic suggestions.
