Inspiron 640m internet connection fails (1394 Net Adapter)
Problem: Inspiron 640m internet connection fails (1394 Net Adapter)
Computer: Dell Inspiron 640m
What has been done:
1. Reinstalled OS as XP Professional. It used to be Vista, but it was terribly slow (no wander since it has 1 Gb of RAM). Service Pack 2 installed.
2. After installation connecting to the Internet fails. Please note that Net Adapter worked fine while the laptop had Vista as OS.
3. Pinging Localhost:

I had figured out that the problem was the driver update, so I had searched for the updates by service tag and by the model.
By the way these two searches returned different results.
How on earth is it possible, since in both cases the title of the page suggested that it was for exactly the same Inspiron model...).
And none of the drivers I had installed was the one you so kindly pointed out!!!
Anyways things looks much better now, though I still can't connect to the Internet.
Pingin looks nice. But the following error message appears "Limited or no connectivity"
Local Area Connection Status->Support->Details:
Physical Address: 00-15-C5-78-3F-11
IP Address: 169.254.145.222
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway:
DNS Server:
WINS Server:
------------
Does it have something to do with connection speed I have?
I tested several sites (http://www.speedtest.net/) and the download speed was around 500 kb/s.
If this is the reason, what can be done?
thank you in advance,
with all the best, mjk3r
