Usually after extracting you have to either run a setup program, or go through the steps to upgrade the driver.. but after looking at the extracted driver I don't think there's a Windows XP driver for the card beyond the one that's included in Windows XP itself, that download is from like 2000.
And doing some searching, it seems there are some known issues with that NC100 card and Bittorrent, they suggest updated drivers by the maker of the network chipset, but even that site is long gone. I found them here:
http://www.network-drivers.com/drivers/146/146141.htm
I'm not 100% positive though that those are the right drivers or would even help. It might be easier to just upgrade the network card with a new one, get it from somewhere you can return it if it doesn't fix the problem.
If you want to try the drivers, after extracting them you'll have to go through the process of updating the drivers manually through the device manager and pointing it at the directory where they were extracted. Let us know if you need assistance with that.
