Alright, maybe the title is abit weird.

Here's the problem, a friend of mine have a SONY VAIO and want me to upgrade for him so I recently formatted it to Windows Vista Business SP2. It's a VGN-TZ26GN/B for your information and I do not have the drivers CD. I download the wireless drivers from the SONY website and whenever I try to run it it'll just hang there for a period of time. I once try leaving it for 2 hours and after a pop-up appears that it has a problem or some ****.

So now I need to connect to the internet to update the drivers via Device Manager, but is there a way? My main computer has bluetooth (so does the SONY VAIO) is that helps, I have a CAT5 ethernet cable, a Samsung Omnia (which can connect to the internet, I read that I could use my phone as a broadband device).

So any ideas? Please help!

I take it you don't have a router. Just use one of your machines (like the one you use dot post with) to download the drivers and then transfer them over to the laptop.

By the way did you make sure you downloaded the driver for vista business the first time?
