In my Ethernet IPv4 and IPv6 is not enabled. When I'm trying to set the IP address for my Ethernet it says it has to install the driver. Realtek PCIe Family Controller. Ethernet card.
I have Dell XPS L502X, Windows 7 Home Premium.My internet was working last night but when I turned it on this morning it would not connect.It is connected to my bt homehub with full strength but no internet access. It says IPV4 No Internet Access. I tried using a wire to connect it but that did not work either.Other devices are connecting. So can't be a problem with the internet itself. [code]
I am using the Vostro 3360 with win 7, I did used the hotspot station software accomplish with the WiFi driver before and worked fine. However, the hotspot is not working as the ipv4 is showing 'no internet connect'. And my iPhone cannot connect it too.
I am having trouble with my wifi, just got my Dell Inspiron 11z back and it was set to factory. now when its starting up i hit F2 for settings and it reads
I seem to have a problem with my Dell DW1520 wireless LAN card installed on a Studio 1747 laptop.The LAN card seems to have a mind of its own and is rarely enabled at start up. Repeatedly restarting the laptop a few times somehow magically enables the network card though.When disabled, I can see the red cross on the task bar (network connection). The network card is not even detected and is not visible in device manager. However, when I restart the laptop a few times, the bars appear, the LAN card appears in device manager and I can connect to the wireless network.
I logged a call with Dell Technical support for this and a different issue (BSOD and restart). They replaced my motherboard and asked me to monitor the situation. While the BSOD/restart issue seems to have disappeared with the motherboard replacement, the wireless LAN card issue still remains. The person that came to install the motherboard also tried installing new drivers for the LAN card but that hasn't worked. Dell tech support now say that I must reinstall the whole Operating System (Windows 7), drivers etc from scratch.
Wireless doesnt get enabled on pressing fn+F2 key, it turns on for a fraction of a second signified by the sound but it again sounds and turns off.Just cant get it enabled...Is there any other way to turn it on, on my Inspiron 1545?
I've an Inspiron 1521 with Dell wireless minicard 1505, running Vista that was running fine except for 'BCM42RLY service failed to start, can't find file' messages logged in the event log, so I thought I would stop that by uninstalling the device driver and re-installing a later version. So I *deleted* when I did the un-install (didn't want any nasty bits left behind) and re-installed the later R174292 drivers. Install went ok, and device manager likes it too, no nasty exclamation marks and it does say "This device is working properley"! On dear, the Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility tells me different, it says "There are currently no wirelss adapaters available and enabled". When you try to 'connect to a network' it too reports "Windows cannot find any networks".
Done "SFC /scannow" just in case, and no probs reported.
I seem to have deleted something really important when I nuked the driver, that R174292 did not replace? Needless to say I cannot roll back the driver! And, just to be sure, that little 'ole network switch on the side of the 'old lappie is firmly ON!
At home, I have 2 laptops and 1 smartphones, I set up a wi-fi network with WEP (WPA2) key. Since then the Windows Wireless manger is not able to connect.
If I remove the WEP key, I am able to connect.
The Internet connection is good. I am able to connect a HP, a Lenevo laptop, an iPhone with the same WEP key - but Dell does not connect.
I am running Windows XP on Latitude E6410 with Intel i5 Core.
I recently received the blue screen of death on my labtop so I used the system restore cd and wiped the entire hard drive clean. Afterwards I knew to extract the drivers from the drivers and utilities cd. I extraced the wlan card since this is what has been controlling my wireless at school and everywhere else. The little tower icon doesn't appear in my task box on the bottom of the screen nor is it anywhere where I can enable it. The only place I see the driver is in the add/remove folder in the control panel. Furthermore the blue light doesn't appear when I flip the switch to the on position.
I have a Dell Inspiron 8500 Laptop with the Dell Truemobile 1300 WLan mini PCI Card.I have tried uninstalling and re- installing the Driver from the Dell website. I have install Network Stumbler and it keeps saying "No Aps Active.I Have MZC and Dellwirless turned off so that they will not conflict with NS.I have tried the FN + F2 keys and neither worked the FN and other keys work just fine.I have just completed a fresh install of Windows XP Pro as the old OS got corrupted.
I press FN/F2 to "enable and disable wireless" but cannot see the antenna icon appear on the screen to know if the functionalty even exists. Other function keys work properly. I vaguely remember seeing this icon when I first purchased the laptop, but soon after purchase I had to completely reinstall the operating system and have not had a need to a wireless connection to notice it was no longer there.Because I cannot access wireless connections I assume there is a problem with enabling this feature of my laptop.
what I should be doing to check/correct that my laptop can receive a wifi connection? I've checked the recommended driver installs for my model of laptop, but nothing seems relevant.
I have a new Dell Inspiron 17R 5720. When I plug an Ethernet from my router to the laptop absolutely nothing happens. It seems as if the Ethernet adapter on the laptop is not connected. I've tried troubleshooting by going into "Control Panel, Network Connections". The Ethernet icon says "Network Cable Unplugged, Realtex PCIe FE Family Controller".
I've tried the same Ethernet connection with another Dell laptop and it works just fine.
As I said, it seems as if the Ethernet adapter on my laptop is not hooked up at all.
I did a clean install of Windows 7 32-bit on a Dell Optiplex 980. I don't know what driver is for the ethernet controller. Will you tell me? I just downloaded the INTEL_825XX-GIGABIT-PLATFORM_A06_R290983.exe (5MB). I don't know if this is it. I will try on Monday. Should I update the chipset driver too? What is the driver for that. I downloaded Intel_AMT-HECI_A05_R304259.exe (10MB). Is that right for the chipset?
I have a Dell Precision 340 and I went to connect my modem and wireless router to the PC via my ethernet cable. When I hook it up, my computer says new hardware ethernet controller and wants me to add it. When I try to add it, it will not let me and wants me to add the hardware via a disk or CD rom, which I don't have. Because I can't get the ethernet cable to work on the PC I can't get internet, however the wireless router still works......
I have a Dell AIO 968w. I've tried connecting it via the USB that came with the printer and a new one incase the old one broke as everytime I connected it it gave the message. USB malfunctioned please replace device. Later I connected it via Ethernet to my Linksys switch, but my computer wouldn't recognize the printer nor the IP connected. I've tried manually imputing the IP, but no luck.
I reinstalled windows xp (reformatted c). Installed the drivers in this order: Controller, Video, Audio, Network, modem. I selected the drivers that had the check beside them on the driver disk. Now, in the device manager, there is a yellow question mark beside the ethernet card and I can't connect to my broadband connection. Wire is attached... checked that twice. I have connectivity through other computers, so internet is working in the house.
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 Netgear DG834G ADSL2 Modem/Router. I am currently connected through a wired network connection and wireless. With both forms of connection active does my Dell XPS give priority to the wired connection or the wireless connection if wireless is enabled?
Since changing battery my Dell C521 won't connect to internet. When I run set up CD it says it can't detect ethernet connection even though cable is connected.
Im unable to get my router working as my machine has no ethernet controllers installer.I have a dell, optiplex gx260. The lan in enabled in the Bios. I have searched and tried a number of driver None of which have worked, I have tried the 3com 3c905c txm, intel gigabit LOM, and im about to try the Intel 8254x1000 intregrated netwk driver (which i dont think'll work as its the same as the Lom one). if that doesnt work is it best to reinstall the chipset drivers?
I did a fresh install of Windows XP recently on my Dell Dimension 4550 and I'm having trouble getting on the internet. In the Device manager it has the '?' next to Ethernet Controller. I've read the other articles on this site but nothing has worked as of yet.I did another fresh install of XP (2nd time) and then started with the Chipset for Intel, still nothing.
The order for drivers installation says to install the DSS utility first, but I can't seem to find it in the Drivers & Downloads section for my Dimension 4550.
I have a couple of Ethernet cables, however a lot of them have their latches broken off but that hasn't stopped my laptop from working but it isn't just that when i plug in a Ethernet cord with the latch into the port of the 660s no lights show up, plus when i put in another cable, i guess some regular cord , i do get lights but that doesn't connect me to the internet...and i am just confused.
So what i am trying to say is: Is there something wrong with the port?
Do I need to change my Ethernet Cable?
Or is there something else completely wrong that i am not seeing?
we just reinstall window xp because of some viruses. now that we put in our wireless notebook card window xp say ' Found New Hardware'
and under Hardware, Device manager, it pop up a yellow question mark and it say ' Ethernet Controller'. we already install the chipset driver and the 3com in the dell download pages for the 8200. i read some where that the 8200 come with the broadcom bcm5701 ethernet controller but im not sure.
My hard drive crashed. I have finished installing everything on a new drive that I have from my Dell installation CDs. However, in the Device manager, the Ethernet Contoller shows the the drivers are not installed. I can't seem to find them anywhere on the Dell web site.
when I pull the cover off of the computer - the outside of the Ethernet connection says "418D-J51 10/100 BT"
I recently bought an older Dell Inspiron 8100 just to lug around and it connects to wifi via a wireless card no problem. The problem I am having is that when I hardwire to the net via the ethernet cable, I get nothing. It's OS is Windows XP sp3
I would like to connect my playstation 3 to the internet from my laptop which is connected to a guest network (college dorm: I don't have access to a network key - I use my student ID and password at the launch of the browser to access the internet). Is there any way to do this? I have a Dell inspiron 1500 with Windows 7. Basically, what I would like to do is support my ps3 internet connection using my guest network connection from my laptop by running an ethernet cable from the laptop to my playstation.
