If you installed from the Dell restore CD, then you have them already. Otherwise you can download them from Dell.

yes , like Steve said the drivers are available from Dell and are downloaded in executeable files so basically all you need to do it double click and follow the prompts, depending how new your Mini is you might wanna get the drivers from Dell anyway to make sure you have the latest versions, there might be updates from the ones on your Restore CD/DVD....

Wired or wireless? Have you tried the Network Troubleshooter in Windows?

You have to get the drivers from the other cd that they gave you. Insert the Drivers CD, then load the drivers for the wireless.

Is there a wireless connection icon in the system tray? Right click on it and select "Repair connection" or some such. Is the Mini "associating" with the router? Have you correctly entered the security information?
