Hi Everyone,
I have found a lot of posts on this topic, but none specific to my situation (I think). I re-installed Windows XP, and like many have had problems, I cannot connect to the internet. Upon looking in device manager, I am missing all of the 'other devices' (Ethernet Controller, Network Controller, something with modem and several others).. I know this is the cause of my problem, but I am wondering which of them on the driver disk I need to install to remedy this issue? I installed most of the drivers in the order it recommended, but some of them listed on the disk were not those mentioned, so I did not install them (there are two under Chipset, several under communications, etc.). I am certain the ones needed are on the disk (due to a call with Dell), but I opted out of the $150 one time support. Is there an issue with installing them if I do not need them? Do I need to restart after every one? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!!! I would love to have the internet back!
Thanks,
Marty
