The ethernet drivers are the ones we need to work on here. Here is an alternative method of installing those drivers:
- Go to Device Manager, right click on your ethernet drivers, and click on Update Driver.
- Select No, not at this time [Next].
- Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced). [Next]
- Click Dont search... [Next]
- Untick Show compatible hardware (as I believe the wrong driver was previously installed).
- click Have Disk, and browse to C:\dell\drivers\R56484\WinXP. [OK], [OK] and [Next] and finish the wizard.
- Restart your PC and check Device Manager again to see how things are looking
