Here's the whole list of
Dell-supplied GX60 drivers for XP. I suspect the key one that's missing is the "Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility". Without it, devices integrated on the motherboard won't be correctly recognized.
I have the same problem with the gx260 Ive tried downloading every driver i can find including the intel chipset utility one. but it jsut cant seem to find it... any help?!?!?!?
You might want to start a new thread and explain your symptom in detail. Similar symptoms don't necessarily result from the same problem.
In your new thread, be sure to state what operating system and service pack you have installed, what changes were made before the problem began, what steps you've tried and what the results were, as well as anything else you can think of that might help isolate the cause of the problem.
Installing the chipset driver is a necessary first step. Now that you've done that, whichever integrated network device is in th GX60 should be able to be installed. You'll need to identify which one the machine has. The most likely integrated device is the
Intel 10/100 LOM. In fact, none of the other network devices listed under downloads for the GX60 are integrated onto the motherboard. Have you tried that driver? If you have, what went wrong?
I cheated... installed a new Linksys card. Works fine now...
Also added 512 megs of RAM to the system. Got the Radeon card installed in the other PCI slot... hooked up to a 42" plasma via DVI and it is looking fine. (We were running a Latitude laptop on the big screen via S-Video which looked like junk).
Yep...FP displays will show you
everything that's wrong with a laptop's external video output. I had to replace a FP display with an analog monitor on a laptop system we bought someone as a desktop replacement. The user couldn't stand the noise on the display. Very high bandwidth is not always your friend! :)
If you decide to leave the Linksys card in the machine, you should probably turn off the integrated adapter in the BIOS, so XP stops complaining about the thing.

P.S. That's not much memory for XP (128 MB)!

I'll give that LOM driver a shot...
Appreciate all the help!

Let us know about the LOM driver results!
