I recently reinstalled windows xp on my computer (dell dimension 2350). Everything is now working except my internet/ethernet connection. I have the cord set up properly (it worked before reinstallation), and i have tried installing the proper network driver (downloaded from dell.com) but it doesn't work. Either nothing happens, or I get an error message.

Right Click "My Computer" --> Hardware tab --> device manager --> right click your Ethernet controller if it has a question mark beside it --> …

The integrated adapter may have gone out, but it would have also started and installed the adpaters itself when you inserted the dell drivers disk..
