I just put a new HD in my Mom's comp because her old one messed up on her, and I also added a DVD Drive and a new CD/RW drive. The DVD was recognized and installed, but the CD/RW drive wasn't! I did the device manager through Windows, but no dice, however I noticed the ethernet card wasn't installed, and it needed to connect to the internet to find/download, except I have to use the ethernet to connect to the internet, so you see the problem...

The computer works fine except for those 2 problems, and any help is GREATLY appreciated...

Ethernet, you're going to have to use a USB network adapter in the mean time otherwise you'll have to use another computer, download said driver, saved it to a floppy and or thumb drive, take said thumb drive or floppy and install driver in your other computer.

I know that, but I don't know which driver I need. I looked at the thing, and it's not in a PCI slot, it's just a little box with 1 ethernet and 2 USB ports. I searched for the serial number that was on it on belfuse.com (it said BeL on it, and a quick google brought me to the site) and it didn't even have that exact serial on it! It had some that were close, but nothing matched. I guess I will just have to buy a ethernet card :/
