Well, thank you! Try to stay cheap
have a look at these Newegg.com - Intel PWLA8391GT 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter 1 x RJ45 - Network Interface Cards and Newegg.com - Rosewill RC-404 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI Ethernet Card 1 x RJ45 and Newegg.com - D-Link DGE-530T 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI Gigabit Desktop Adapter 1 x RJ45 all 3 are acceptable with good driver support :)
The absolute worst PC model to find any Support online is Packard Bell.
Keep in mind that you still have a working ethernet controller on that computer (in all likelihood) which only needs a driver. The method to determine what it is starts with finding the Device showing a missing driver in Device Manager, then tracing the Hardware ID using this method: Hardware Identification
Once you have the make and model of device, find it on the maker's Support Downloads webpage, or google it to find the latest driver.
Hopefully this will help others who hit on this thread through Google searches over Packard Bell non-support.

OKay!,I opened the omputer and was goingto check for the network card, BUT that's kind of hidden... Behind everything, I bet they do that because they weant to make money and make us sendthem in for repair... What about those USB Network Cards? Are those acceptable ?, or the USB Wireless ? Thanks!
I bought a Extern Card with USB, and holy shit it's fast, I'm actually on the computer now Thanks Everyone!!
