Hi

I have just had to reinstall the operating sytem (XP) after my computer had a virus.

I have managed to get everything up and running again (after three long evenings ) but I am left with one strange problem.

I can connect my broadband modem to the internet through my USB cable, but not through the ethernet port. This is a problem because I cannot use my wirless router for the remote PC. I know the router is working fine so I guess there is a setting somewhere I can change?

It all worked fine a few days ago

Any ideas?

Have you installed the network card (ethernet) drivers? The USB connection is probably handled by Windows.

I have just checked and the ethernet driver is missing. I have searched all my installation disks, but it's not there. The PC came with all the software already on it.
It is a Dell dimension 9200. Can I download a driver off the net? how do I know which one?

Cheers

I had this problem ages ago, all i did was open the side of the PC and got the

make and model off the adaptor and went on their site and downloaded the

driver from my other half's laptop.

Just noticed you put the make and model of your PC.

Try download and install this Drivers and Downloads

Alternatively look for the device in the System list and try to download latest driver from internet. It might give you a generic one but it will probably work if it says it can't locate one then you will need a file or disk.

Limited or no connectivity

Is it a wireless card?

Filehippo Updater
