To get your drivers back all you need to do is go to whatever site manufactured your computer. Dell, Toshiba, Hp, etc...

When you go to the site search around for the link on drivers. Then you'll have a list that comes up with all the computer made by that manufacturer and you find yours then it should simply lead you to your drivers.

Example mine is a Dell E510 so i search on the drivers list click that and then it will pull up my drivers.

You bought a computer. It came with disks. Where are they?

'SOME' internet software/NIC will work with MS$ drivers that are in XP/XP Pro - hopefully cranky ole' joebeard will browse here and tell you how to use that resource (if possible).

You can choose your friends, but not your family...

I'm guessing that your brother bought another computer, so it's time to hit him up for a favor. You need to figure out which motherboard is in your machine, then hit the manufacturer's site for drivers. Then download them, and burn them to a CD. The internet won't work until you install the "LAN" driver. (Local Area Network). try and find the "chipset identification utility", and install that first. (This if it's an Intel chipset).
