Studio XPS 8100 Network Driver

I had a hd crash and had to re-installl Window7 on my Studio XPS 8100.  I've installed all the drivers from the dell site as well as the H57 chipset drivers from Intel.  I still have 2 devices that won't install (Ethernet Controller and PCI Simple Communication Controller).  I can't get on-line.  Can someone help?

You should not install ALL the drivers unless you have the same hardware. Check your Device Manager to be sure to select the correct drivers. It is very important to install drivers in the proper order. The Desktop System Software (if it's listed under System Utilities on your download page) and the chipset drivers both must be installed first or the other drivers do not install properly.
