I want to install a network card on my laptop but I don't have the disc that came with it. (It's a few years old) I ran a check on my computer to see if it had the driver on it but it doesn't have it for the model I have. (It's a D-link DFE-670TXD). I found the driver it needs online using my desktop but when I downloaded it to a disc and tried to run it on my laptop it said the disc didn't contain files related to my hardware, and I KNOW it was the right driver. Is there any other way to get the driver on the laptop without the original disc? I can't connect the two computers b/c the network adapter is the kind that allows you to plug in a CAT5 cable, not a wireless one. PLEASE HELP!!

Just to check you did unzip the files so that a .inf file was present on the CD, correct?
FYI, there are special "crossover" CAT5 cables that let you directly connect two computers with wired NICs together.
