Check your systray for an icon of two computers linked together (Windows XP) or a crude white rectangle which vaguely resembles an ethernet cable (Windows 7). That'll indicate a wired connection.

On the other side, look for a monitor with green radio waves (Windows XP) or a signal bar meter (Windows 7). That'll be wireless.

I don't see the wired connection icon, even though the computer is plugged up to the ethernet cable. Any idea how I can get it to show up and connect properly? *has never done this on a laptop*

You probably need to install a driver for your network adapter. Or if it's already recognized, something probably went wrong in Windows and it didn't create the connection...

Well I looked through the drivers I DID have. And I did not find any ethernet driver of any kind. SO, I went on the Dell website, plugged in what kinda computer I had, and tried to download the ethernet driver. I installed it.

And fuck all happened.

I restarted. There was no change. I tried again. There was no fucking change. I hate drivers.

Is it appearing in the device manager? Are there any unknown devices in the device manager?

If you can't find anything that could be your Ethernet adapter in the device manager, I suggest booting up a Linux live CD, and running the command "lspci -nn". The should tell you what kind of Ethernet adapter you have, which should help you find drivers.

If there is an unknown device in the device manager that could be your Ethernet adapter, Windows may be able to find a driver for you, or you can look up the PCI ID from the device manager at http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/ for clues.

I also seem to remember that devices can be disabled from the device manager under Windows. Additionally, network adapters can be disabled from Network Connections.

@Marzen64: you said you didn't know where to get a Linux CD? I would just download on the net and burn it. If you want to drop me a /msg and I'll help you out.

Also you can get the ID screen in the unknown driver you can search for that.. Dell's website indeed sucks, but it should at least get you the right driver after you've done a *head->desk* bang...

Also, if you're willing to spend a few bucks on a magazine, a lot of Linux magazines have free distro disks. Might be worth it depending on your connection speed.

Well I'll be 100% honest, I really don't want anything to do with Linux. It really intimidates me. I'd rather not use Linux in any way or form.

Well yeah I assumed internet would be the best way to get it, but do I have to use torrents? The college internet blocks torrents from working, which is another reason why I'm skeptical to using em.



I've googled and searched everywhere, and all I've found is this same Ethernet drive for my computer. It's an Inspiron N5110, and apparently I need the "Dell Inspiron N5110 Notebook Realtek RTL8105E-VB LAN Driver A00". I've downloaded a few copies of this, they're all the same. They unzip the files to a location and then install the driver, but nothing shows up in the Device Manager. It DOES show up, however, in the add/remove programs list.

You should try another way- go in Device Manager, then in your network adapter's properties, and into driver update/install. Choose to install the driver manually and select the directory where your Dell driver extracted itself.

If the wizard fails to find any compatible driver, then this driver pack isn't the right one.

A side note about laptops, some have addon network cards instead of builtin. The addon formats are standard, so if your laptop has an addon network card, it may very well not be the model provided by default.

Just so you know, the internet issues are fixed! I found my ethernet driver, it was installed, and I had to change my internet preferences to "home". Now the LAN cord works perfectly and my internet never dies out!

...Unless I unplug it, then it seems to ALWAYS be dead, even though it is still connected to wireless.

You might need to disable the wired connection when going for wireless. That's normally not required, but in certain cases, it is. Namely when the wired connection has network access but no internet access.

Yesterday my connection went like practically dead. It dropped quite well to the point my download was like 50 or 30 KBS. I mean, I haven't seen that speed in YEARS. I couldn't play any game online nor hardly visit webpages since it was practically worse than dial up or something.
