Network adapter (yellow !) problem after reinstall of XP - Dimension 9150

Question

Hey,   My Dell Dimension 9150 came with XP preinstalled. But i have since had my computer formattet to install Linux and FreeBSD which of both worked with no trouble.   Now ive installed Windows XP again from a old 2002 CD i had. But cant find any drivers for the network adapter. Ive taken following steps.   1) XP install 2) SP2 install 3) Dell Chipset Driver install 4) Dell Network Driver install   After this all i get in the device manager is still 'Ethernet Controler' with a yellow '!'   The drivers are all downloaded from the Dell support site ive checked for different drivers by looking up Dimension 9100 and my service tag. They both listed the same drivers.   Ive had the computer open to see what the motherboard was in, but couldnt find any name on it besides DELL. So far the only good news is that the graphic driver for my GF6800 seems to work but that aint much fun without the internet. If anyone have any ideas ill be more the happy to see em. Thx for any help.

Do you have a 9100 or a 9150?  You say have a 9150 but you looked up drivers for a 9100  The network drivers for the 9150 are at: <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed / replaced from this post by Dell>   Steve

I have a 9150. I tried both the 9100 drivers and the drivers that came up from my service tag. Ive tried typing in my service tag again and i now see different drivers comming up that you have linked to.   Either dell support side messed up, or i typed in my service tag wrong though i somehow doubt that.   Anyhow ive downloaded the drivers from intels homepage and they work.   but thx anyway.
