Dell Ethernet Card Network Adapter - Page 9 Questions & Answers
Do I have an ethernet card?
Yes, Intel Pro/1000 is gigabit ethernet, which will do 100Mbps and 10Mbps too.
This will be compatable with your broadband requirements.
I NEED LAN CARD DRIVER FOR D600 LAPTOP
If you want the driver for your Dell laptop, the best place to get it is at support.dell.com.You need to input the model you have, ( which I believe to be a Latitude D600), and choose drivers.
On the driver page, choose your computer's language, network for category and all for importance.
This brings up about 20+ possible downloads.
You then need to find the ones that apply to the network card in your computer that are labeled as drivers.
Anything labeled as firmware is optional and will upgrade the operation of your card if applied. Utilities are also optional and are usually used to change operational settings of the card.
There will be only one driver for your card that you have to download, everything else is optional.
Once you have the driver, look at the device manager in WinXP.
If the network card [ethernet adapter] is not showing there, then there should be an unknown device.
Right click on the unknown device and choose update drivers and point the update wizard to the driver you downloaded.
That should solve the problem.

I do not have your problem but did some quick reading.
If you have the XP install disk with the SP2 on it, try reinstalling. You will not have to delete all you old files, you will be given the option to repair or do a new install over the old one. I personally have found the repair option to be a waste of time.
My dell computer suddenly is
- start the troubleshooting process by making sure that everything (routers,switches, hubs, modems, and computers) is firmlyplugged in.
- If your computer is on and the other end of the Ethernet cable isconnected to a network device, the link or activity LED should light.If the light remains dark after you plug in the cable, replace thecable. If replacing the cable gives the same result (no green light), then go to the next step.
- Once you’ve eliminated cabling as a source of the problem, it’s time tolook to your computer. Start by making sure that your computer is able toaccess your Ethernet card. A good tool for doing this, and subsequentnetwork troubleshooting, is the command prompt.
- Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, and then Command Prompt. When the Command Prompt window opens, type ipconfig –alland press ENTER. Various lines of information will display, dependingon how your system is configured. Look for a section labeled EthernetAdapter Local Area Connection. This section should include a linelabeled Description, which should be a description of your Ethernetcard. If you see it, then your computer knows about your Ethernet cardand has successfully loaded the necessary drivers. If the Descriptionline is blank or missing, you will need to reinstall the drivers foryour Ethernet card.
- Your Ethernet card doesn’t detect a connection to the Ethernet cable. Open a command prompt, type ipconfig –all,and press ENTER. If the section that starts with Ethernet adapter LocalArea Connection contains a line labeled Media, with a status of MediaDisconnected, then your computer is unable to detect that a link hasbeen made from your Ethernet card through the Ethernet cable to anothernetwork device, such as your computer or router. Recheck the cabling.Use a known good cable to connect your computer to a known good networkdevice and then perform the check again. If the status is still MediaDisconnected, and you are sure that the cable and the network devicethe cable connects to are good, then you may have a bad Ethernet card.Reinstall the Ethernet card. If the problem continues, you may need toreplace the card.
- Other things to check:
- Bad connection, bad cable, or wrong cable. The ports on arouter, hub, switch, wireless access point, and print server can, likeany other device, go bad. However, the most common problem is not a badport but a bad or loose connection, a bad Ethernet cable, or the wrongtype of cable. Refer to the Cabling section above, to eliminate thesepossibilities.
- Wrong port. One possible cause of Ethernet port problems isusing the wrong port on a network device. For example, routers have WAN(wide-area network) and LAN ports. These ports accept the same Ethernetcabling but are not interchangeable. The same is true of hubs andswitches that have uplink ports, which are specially wired LAN portsthat allow easy cascading of multiple hubs and switches. In some cases,the uplink port is also a normal LAN port controlled by a switch on thedevice. If you’re using the uplink port as a normal LAN port, make surethe device is configured properly for this type of use.
If aport doesn’t appear to be working, you can use the link light toconfirm it. Port link lights should always be lit when a good cable isconnected between the port and another working network device. If youuse known good cable and a known good network device to test the portbut the link light isn’t lit, you may have a bad port. You can eitherreplace the network device, or in the case of a hub/switch, add a hubor switch to gain more LAN ports.
- You cannot connect to other computers or router/Internet. Whenother computers in your LAN can connect to each other, as well as tothe Internet or other services, and your computer cannot, this may bean indication that your computer did not receive an IP (InternetProtocol) assignment when you booted.
- Open a command prompt, type ipconfig –all, and press ENTER. Inthe section labeled Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection, look forthe line labeled IP. If it starts with 169, you have a self-assignedIP, which indicates that your computer was not able to acquire an IPassignment from the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.
Test your access to the DHCP server by using the ping command. Open a command prompt and type pingfollowed by the IP address of the DHCP server. Your DHCP server isprobably the same as your router. For example, if your router’s IP is192.168.1.1, then type ping 192.168.1.1 and press ENTER. Youshould see four lines of text, starting with Reply From 192.168.1.1:Bytes 32, followed by time values that indicate how much time elapsedbetween the ping command and the router’s response. If you see fourlines that say Request Timed Out, then your computer cannot reach yourrouter/DHCP server.
Make sure the router is plugged in,turned on, and properly configured to provide DHCP services.
These are just a few things to try to help figure out if it is your cable, ethernet card, router, or some other problem.
Little or No connectivity
you have just got the connection today. so try after an hour or two. sure it will get connected but it takes some time for the process to get completed
Dell 4700 Computer Integrated NIC Problem
Check for the pins inside the integrated NIC to check if the pins are bent / disfigured. Does not look like the additional card is making any different, looks more like a moving NIC cable is makin the difference.
Lemme know if this helped!

Network adapter
Hi There!
Hope you are doing well.
As is understand you can not connect to the internet. Here is what you can try. As i can see from what you have written. Your network adapter is fine.
1. I see you are using a wireless router.
If it is configured in DHCP mode ---> Then set your laptop or computer IP configuration in DHCP mode.
If it is configured in NAT Mode ---> Then give a static IP configuration to your computer. depending on your local range e.g IP:192.168.0.30 Subnet:255.255.255.0 Default gateway:192.168.0.1 and also set you Primary and secondary DNS settings.
You could try any of the above setting and after saving the new configuration restart the computer. and reboot(turn off the power supply and turn it back on after 30 sec) the wireless router also.
2. Try Changing your wireless router , install a new one and try your old configuration.

Olafsson.
Internet problem
Well, without any other equipment to test with, you're kinda stuck with having someone check out your PC and/or cable modem by plugging them into something else.
The good news is, a PCI ethernet card is very cheap... so if it *is* dead, you could easily buy one yourself, and with a little experience, install it into the computer too!
Otherwise, there is not much you can do without being able to test the cable modem with another computer that has an ethernet port. (a friends laptop perhaps?)
Problem with my lan port
did you check the cable that is it working fine???
and the other thing does your network connection shows that the local area is unplugged if it shows then it is definatly problem with the wire or Connector.
I want to know about some adventures video games?
Check out Big Fish Games. It is a subscription service but they have all types of games including adventure and hidden object. You can also tryp Pogo since they have both a fee and subscription service. Last, but not least, you can try one of your local computer stores or the electronics section of "big box" stores like Target, Walmart, Kmart, etc.
