Could sure use some guidance. Ethernet connection and USB ports are togather on the back of the PC below the mouse and keyboard connetors.
Not an added after market card. However there is a USB2 and firewire card at the bottom. Cable modem is connected to one of the upper USB ports that was original and to the ethernet connection. This may be part of the problem. Probably should not connect cable modem with both connections but I could not get it to work with just the ethernet wire. I'm having a problem envisioning how your network is set up. You say "Cable modem is connected to one of the upper USB ports that was original and to the ethernet connection".
Is the cable modem connected to the computer by both ports? If so, why are you using the USB connection? If the cable modem has both an ethernet port and a USB port, you should be connecting the cable modem to the router though an ethernet port, rather than to a computer, and you should be connecting the computer to one of the router's LAN ports by an ethernet connection.
If the cable modem is a USB-only cable modem, then you would have to be using Internet Connection Sharing in Windows ME, and the cable modem would connect to the USB port on that computer and the router would connect to the ethernet port on the computer. The router would then have to be running in access point mode. To figure out which ethernet adapter you have, click on the Product Support button at the top of the Dell forum window. Enter your service tag number and click on "Original System Configuration".
There are 2 Intel network adapters listed on the downloads page for the , but neither matches this description. If you can get the original configuration information, it would help to narrow this down. Thanks Steve for taking the time. Cable Modem has both USB and Ethernet connections and as I said, when I originally connected it there were two connections and the instructions didn't specifically don't connect both so I did. That may be part of the problem but the Dell desk top worked as did the laptop which was connected wireless from the router in the ethernet lines between the cable modem and the Dell.
The cable modem is connected to the Dell directly via USB1. But, the USB connection is the only way I can get the desk top working now connecting the the internet. Thanks for the hint on the original config. I have the Service Tag number and will try it. It worked most of the time. I'm thinking I might have deleted my driver when I deleted my Windows partition, but I'm not sure how to fix this I'm not even sure this is the problem.
DELL Dimension E Drivers Utility scans your computer for missing, corrupt, and outdated drivers and automatically downloads and updates them to the latest, most compatible version. DELL Dimension E Drivers Utility saves you time and frustration and works with all drivers such as sound drivers, video drivers, wireless drivers etc. To download the proper driver, first choose your operating system, then find your device name and click the download button.
Driver for that model used to work out of the box with previous releases, but not anymore from what I can see. According to Dell you need to install the Windows driver or optionally you can install the Dell DKMS drivers which include the necessary module for your card. More information over the DKMS driver can be found here. Free Returns.
There are a bunch of security holes in preSP2 systems. As far as chipset drivers go, I have no idea what they are, and the only other drivers that i had to reinstall to get my computer running over the summer were the video and sound drivers.
