How to use internet after reinstalling windows?

So I reinstalled windows and I just cant get the internet to work. Anything would help cause im just a kid and I don't know what to do :/How to use internet after reinstalling windows?
Sometimes after you reinstall windows you will need to find 'drivers' to load for your network card to work.. Did you use a Branded system restore disk? (came with comptuer) or a purchased copy of Windows..





If you right-click on my computer go to properties and then click on the Hardware tab then open Device Manager. Do you see any items in there with a yellow exclamation mark on them?





(these instructions are for XP)





More details will yield better answers.. What type of internet? DSL , cable. etc. Are you using a Router or conneced dirctley to internet box? What operating system version? XP, Vista, 7??How to use internet after reinstalling windows?
Go to the website for that brand, look up your specific model on the support page, find the drivers for it and download and install the network driver. You can download it to a thumbdrive or burn it to a cd on another computer then take the drive or cd to your computer and install the driver.





Run windows update when you are done.
