Dell :: Docking Station Connector On Latitude D630 Not Working For Ethernet Connection
Mar 25, 2012
I cannot utilize my Ethernet connection when my Dell Latitude D630 is connected to a docking station. I have tried this on two different docking stations. I also have another Dell laptop that I have used in the one of the same docking stations and the ethernet connection is fine. I'm looking for assistance to troubleshoot this (even just determining if I can replace the connector and how I determine what type I need)
I have a Latitude D400 laptop with docking station. I left on a trip for a week and came back to find I cannot connect to the network through the docking station. I can however connect if I plug the ethernet cable directly into the laptop. Is this a hardware problem with the docking station?
I am using a wireless connection via router to access internet at home. When my Dell Latitude E6510 Laptop is not on the Dell Docking Station and I'm using as just standalone I can access my wireless connection easily, no problem at all.However, when I attached my laptop to my Dell Docking Station, I can not access my wireless connection. The wireless connection is found, but when I click connect to network, I get "Windows cannot found network". When I remove the laptop from the docking station, I find the wireless connection and connect perfectly and it works normal.I am using Windows 7. I can connect to internet with straight wire going to docking station easily, but no wireless connection found when laptop is on the docking station. I work from home and use the docking station for two monitors for doing my job. I have struggle with this problem for two weeks now. I don't see anything on the docking station that's preventing me from access my wireless connection.
I have a Latitude D820, Windows XP, SP3. At my office I have a regular docking station but at home I have a D/Dock docking station. When I dock the 820 at home the Broadcomm network card works flawlessly. When I dock it in the office, it will occasionally work but most of the time the link light and data light on the docking station are on solidly and XP reports that the cable is unplugged. I have tried two different docking stations with identical results and also tested the cable by plugging it into the docking station that holds a D810. With the D810 it worked normally.
My ethernet connection device does not seem to be working. I already tried to trouble shoot it, but nothing worked. First, I have checked that the ethernet cable, and internet port are working properly. Then, i have looked in the device manager, and it indicates that my wired connection device are detected and enabled. However, when I connect a network cable to the ethernet jack on my laptop, there is no network light showing up. I have also updated the BIOS and wired network driver.
I have a Dell Latitude D630. When i try to connect to wifi network using the intel proset wireless wifi software, it denied to accept the password and give me some checksum error.
I have successfully connected to wifi network using windows xp zero wireless configuration utility.So, what is wrong with "intel proset wireless wifi software" ?
I switched my Dell Latitude D630 on yesterday morning and the WiFi light wasn't lit, and I am unable to connect to any network. I'm completely baffled why this has happened. I was using it the previous night, streaming some music on Spotify, then I turned it off as normal, and when I tried using the internet the next day...nothing. The bluetooth light is lit as normal but the WiFi light stays off, and I've tried turning the external switch on/off to no avail.
My laptop (Dell Latitude D630) suddenly stopped "seeing" my wireless network. The Windows diagnostic seems to imply that I should "turn on" my wireless card. However, when I check the hardware settings in the control panel, it says it is working properly.
So I dug my old Latitude D630 out from the attic, turned it on, and it still works, and it actually connected to my router! However, only the wireless connects, not the wired connection. When I plug an ethernet cable in, the computer does not recognize the cable, and tells me a cable is unplugged...which of course it isn't.
I'm using an HP Elitebook 6930p with Windows XP and an HP EN488UT docking station. When I use the computer by itself the Network Connections shows "Local Area Connection 3 Connected Intel 83567LM Gigabit Network Connection" and I can connect to the internet. When I am in the docking station, I can also see this connection, as long as my notebok is open when I start up. However, if i start the computer with the lid closed (I just want to use the external monitor, not the notebook monitor) that network connection does not appear and I cannot connect to the intenet.
dell latitude d630 vista 32bit.why my download speed is very slow on wireless .i had 2 laptops running speedtest together my friends showed 13.5 mps mine was woefully slower at 1.3 mps, sometimes it shows high speed but then it runs that slow it stops internet running .
Purchased 6 new e6510 latitudes and were running into a fluke on a few of them.
When the users travel between locations, they sometimes find when they turn the laptops back on that the ethernet connection is disabled. Its not the wi fi switched off, but the actual ethernet connection in control panel is disabled.
I have a HP 6530b Laptop, and on-board Broadcom NetLink Gigabit Ethernet adapter.When I remove my laptop from the docking station, I obviously lose Network connectivity, however, when I replace the laptop back (or even just plug in a cable directly), I cannot reconnect to the network until I reboot.When I open Network and Sharing Center (Win7), and click change adapter settings the adapter is missing from the list (after i have removed laptop from docking station).
I have a Dell Latitude D630 that connects to the wireless network but goes off after 10 to 15 minutes. I have to restart the notebook for the wireless to pick up again.
Just got switched to high speed from dial up and lost the driver for the ethernet controller. I've been looking everywhere on the dell site but cannot located the one I need..
i have a Dell Latitude E6400. Just reinstalled Vista Ultimate. But it say, "Update Driver Software-Ethernet Controller and Update Driver Software-Network Controller. What I need to install from Dell website?
With a clean install of Windows 8 64-bit...If I boot the laptop with the Ethernet cable disconnected, I will still get "media disconnected" from ipconfig if I then connect the Ethernet cable after login. The Ethernet connection comes back to life if I put the laptop to sleep and then wake it up, but it will go back to "media disconnected" state again if I unplug and replug the network cable.The laptop has the latest BIOS from Dell from this model (A32 -- and has been reset to the factory settings), but I'm wondering if any of the 21 (!) Advanced driver properties need to be toggled to something else for this particular model of Ethernet card to function. The driver version is 10.1.10.1 (dated 6/25/2012) as installed by Windows 8 64-bit.(I tried "updating" to the 10.1.12.1 driver from Dell's site -- for Windows 7 -- but that one is dated 3/23/2011, oddly enough, and cut down the number of Advance options to 6… -- and it still has the same problem -- Ethernet does not automatically reconnect if I unplug and replug the cable…)Might this be something I need to flip in the BIOS for this model?
I have a Latitude D630 -- running the same build of Windows 8 32-bit (but a different Ethernet adaptor, obviously) -- that does not have this problem. So it's not specifically a Windows 8 issue -- but an issue with the specific Ethernet card.
I have a laptop DELL Latitude E6500. I cannot connect it to LAN through Intel (R) 82567 LM Gigabit Network adapter. Connection is set up by DHCP. I get error message: "cable is unplugged", but cable is functional. How I can resolve this problem?
I had to system restore my laptop today and now my laptop wont connect to my wireless router. Is there a specific driver i need to install on the dell disc that come with it ? if not what all do i do ? i can only connect through wired connection
I can't turn on the Wifi switch (Fn + F2) and then I realized its possible it doesn't have a driver so I downloaded the Broadcom 570x Gigabit Integrated Controller so far and its still not working. Here is the what is on my device manager.

I have a brand-new Dell Latitude E5420 laptop with Windows 7 (64-bit) on it and it turns out that its wireless is not working. I turned on the physical switch and the little blue antenna lit up for a few seconds and then went off. When I look in the device manager it only shows these:I tried downloading the right drivers from DELL's site (their automated system claims that I need A02 for my WLAN 1530 Half Minicard) - but they wouldn't install, giving me the error log reproduced below[CODE]
I have a Dell Laptop Latitude 610 and I have not been able to connect to the Internet via the ethernet cable port for some four months now. I've tried downloading software from Dell's web site, I bought (and returned) and USB to Ethernet cable, only to find out that it was a model ahead of what this machine needs.I've asked local repair place (Microcenter) what it might be, but they'll only tell me after I pay $70 just to open it up.Another repair guy said that it is probably the motherboard and it wasn't worth fixing. (Yet if it was, wouldn't the entire computer decide not to work at all?) [code]
Im running windows 7 home premium. I have a Dell Latitude D360. My laptop will connect at home or at family's wifi however it will not connect at school. There are two available wifi connections and it will not connect to either. I have followed my university's instructions to connect to the internet but no good. When I run troubleshooter the error says "unable to configure ip address" or something along those lines. I have reinstalled the network adapter, changed firewall setting. I have tried just about anything I can think of.
I have a Dell Latitude D420 laptop that has wireless connection, but when I attempt to go online I am redirected to a webpage that says internet explorer cannot display page.
I have attempted to reestablish the connection through various methods but none have worked. Under netwrok connections LAN connection is down, but wireless connection is running.
I did a custom reinstall on my dell latitude e5420 laptop using dell windows 7professional 64bit sp1dvd and now my wireless network is not working. I tried turning the switch on and off, restarted my laptop, and I also went to dell suport and downloaded all the recomended drivers and it still doesnt work.
I went to device manager and noticed that under "other devices" there is a yellow exclamation mark on the network controller.
I haven't installed anything new lately, nothing that would affect the wireless, but my wireless suddenly stopped working. My wireless has been working successfully for the past 2 years no problems till now. I have a Dell Latitude E6410 my computer is running Windows 7 32bit. When I open up the DW WLAN Card Utility it says "There are currently no wireless adapters available and enabled. Please enable any available wireless adapters before accessing this configuration utility. I tried reinstalling drivers for the wireless but my computer says "no compatible hardware found".
Also the under the wireless adapters section of Device Manager there isn't an adapter for wireless, but there is an unknown device.

I've tried to use computer restart magic but no luck there.
Also, my computer is running on a university network. My roommate's wireless is working fine. Also I've already system restored to a point where I know it was working, no luck...
