Ethernet Controller needed for Optiplex GX270
Hi,
I've reinstalled windows XP Professional in my Dell Optiplex GX270 desktop. I'm unable to get connected to internet. when I type ipconfig in cmd prompt I am getting message as " Windows IP Configuration" My device manager is showing that Ethernet controller drivers are missing.
I have already downloaded two different ethernet controllers from the Dell homepage (R49958 and R50035) and it still does not work.
Can someone please give me the link for ethernet controller drivers to download and install. Any other troubleshoot help is also very welcome.
Thanks in advance.
- All of your drivers should be available here. Expand the Network section. If you have a standard Ethernet controller, I believe that the driver is the last one listed under this section ( this one). Drivers should be installed as per this article.

When you reinstall OS, you need to reinstall ALL the drivers. One very important driver is for the chipset. Dell has an article about the proper order.
