20 Most Recent Dell Ethernet Card Network Adapter - Page 8 Questions & Answers

Here is the driver for your Nic from dell's website. I looked up your model of PC and OS should be windows XP.

I had a similar problem.   First thing I did was to try to identifty the driver using a program called Xobni.   Then I did a google search to locate the driver and download the driver.

Did you reformat the hard drive? You may not have loaded the drivers for your network adapter. (In that case, your sound probably won't work either, and possibly other devices.)
If you check in the device manager (see here), you'll see it is disabled or not installed.
You need to locate your Drivers cd, or download them from Dell and install the drivers for your network adapter, reboot your system, and it should appear in the device manager and function. Here's a basic troubleshooter that will help you to sort this out, and here's a more advanced version in case you run into other problems. This excellent tutorial will help you to update the drivers for your system.

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.

This could even be the Dsl modem loosing internet sync, They will tell you its you're end and thats fine check the modem, it also could be the ethernet cards going into standby Thus turning off the wake on lan feature in bios or other software would provent the card from going to sleep. Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/edwy_1a56970cf1ea4620

You will either need A) a new network card / some other method of getting online to get the drivers / software B) the original discs that came with the computer to restore from C) a phone call to dell support to request the software.

Go through the process, and your driver will be the second to last on the bottom. "LAN"

Hi,

yes Its compatible .

Thanks. :)

If you went to support.dell.com and keyed in your service tag from the Dimension - dell should allow you to drill down and select the correct one.

Sometimes there are a few - usually from the month to month the machines were made the drivers can be different.
I have had to open the case and get the model number off the device before

Ethernet Card adapter is a wired adapter but you can always check for wireless adapters.Go to device manager by right clicking on my computer->properties->Hardware->Device Manager. In device manager click the + sign at network adapters and check if it is written wireless under that then you have a wireless adapter.

That slot is actuall not accessable externaly. The open bay is for the AGP slot right next to it. Directly to the left of that slot you have a riser board the provides 2 additional horzontally mounted pci slots. You'll have to use one of these.

go to dell.com, under support you can put in either your service tag number or model number and then you will be able to download not only the network adapter driver, but all the drivers you need.

Go to http://www.halfdone.com and download unknown devices to get the correct wireless card info.

Any ethernet card will work fine. Just be sure it's the fit's the correct slot. You probably have a "white" slot which is a pci slot. If it's a longer "black" slot then it's isa. More than likely it came from a pci slot. Before you buy one, confirm the type of slot. In additon, before installing it go to control panel and system settings, hardware, device manager and remove the old one by right clicking it and select delete or remove. Shut down the computer follow instructions for new card.
Probably will have to install the drivers first then shut down and install the new card. Good Luck.

Do you have any 2.4MHz cordless phones in the house or is the computer near a microwave? those two items can cause interference. You can go to Dell.com, go to support then download drivers/software, enter in your service tag is best if you know it? find the network card driver and download it. You can find out which NIC card you have by going to my computer, system, then device manager and right click on the NIC, then properties, it will tell you what card you have.

Hi,

Try following link to download intel drivers.

Thanks

You must buy a pci spec'ed Ethernet care. This will fit into the white socket on the system worse case you go buy a USB based ethernet adapter.

Have you tried to reload the software for the Network Adapter? If not! Have it first.

if it is the hardware information do you know how to get to a command prompt via start button then run (in XP) or just type in at bottom at start button on Vista. type this in and hit enter. devmgmt.msc now open this up it is called device manager. now scroll down till you see network adapters expand this now you will see all network adapters installed just right click the one you want and hit properties. i hope this helps
if it is the ip address and that info let me know i was unsure of your question.
