Dimension 4550 Network Card

Question

reformatted harddrive, now cannot connect to internet, Device Manager shows Yellow ? beside Ethernet Controller.  Since I cannot connect directly to internet I need to find the correct drivers, and load to disk and transfer to the Dimension to install the drivers.  Problem is I cannot figure out which driver to get. In browsing the forum before I joined I saw a message to d/l Everest Home to identify the Ethernet Card the computer has onboard.  It came back stating it was an Intel 82801DB ICH4 - LAN Controller with 82562 ET/EZ PHY.  I have already d/l and installed the required Chipset drivers, for some reason I cannot google a match for this?  Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the proper drivers?   Thanks in Advance for the replies.

Well got the ethernet card solved, the onboard ethernet was done in. I installed a PCI card, now one more problem that Everest tells me I have it says DMI data cannot be guaranteed. Does anyone know what that means??
