Help with NIC needed
I was recently given a Precision WorkStation 670 to use as a server on my network. After trying and failing to install Windows Server 2003 (hooray for missing files), i used a Dell OS re-instalation CD to9 return to XP Pro. The process was seamingly smooth, however, now the NIC doesn't work. When I look in the network connectionns, it shows an active connection (1394 or something), but I can't connect to either the internet nor my workgroup. the device manager shows "ethernet controler" under other. The properties window says that no drivers are installed. Any suggestions?

Download and run to Extract, then run the Setup.exe within the folder it extracts to.
What "files" were missing on installing 2003? You should be able to install it on the 670.

Yeah, you need the Intel Pro/1000 drivers installed. You should be able to get them here, if the link works:

If the link doesn't work, just go to Dell's support website and type in your service tag. Once you've downloaded the file, double click on it to extract the installation program (note where you unzip the program to) and then run setup.exe
They usually install just fine. Reboot and you'll be good to go.

Yeah, that was my thought, too. it stinks that my plans to redo my server are on hold till I get my hands on another copy :( Oh well, such is life.
BTW...thanx 4 the link. The nic is working great now!
