    What model laptop and what OS (operating system) are you running?

    Also, a few more minutes spent typing coherently would make it much easier for everyone to help you.

    What laptop do you have? The thing to do is to download the appropriate networking drivers for you laptop on another computer, and then transfer them to yours. Then you can get online and download the other necessary drivers.

    You obvioulsy have Internet access from some computer, right? Hint: you're posting from it. So, download the necessary drivers from that machine, transfer them to the laptop (floppy, flash drive, burnt CD if all else fails), and that should do it.

    Totally, download the drivers onto a flash drive and take it to your driver lacking laptop. You have already found the drivers for your make and model correct? Usually you can find drivers on the manufacters website.
