you should have driver cds with your computer to install after the re-installation of XP. If not, you can always go the manufacturer's website and download the correct drivers there.

Windows NT version 6 is Vista (among others). You appear to need an XP driver for your NIC. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions.
