Internet Dropping
I have an Inspiron 530 and my ethernet cable/jack continuallly loses connection to the internet. When logging back into my PC after it times out, at least 50% of the time when I boot up the internet it says "no internet connection". When I click on "diagnose proglem" it says there is no ethernet cable plugged in or the cable is not working. I have tried two other cables that I know are working and still the same problem. If I unplug and replug the cable back in, after about 20+ times of doing this, the green light comes on at the jack and then the internet is finally showing connected. I am operating Windows 7 and my ethernet card is Intel 82562V-2 10/100. I have download many different drivers trying to solve this to no avail. HELP PLEASE!!

chris96,
Did you upgrade this computer to Windows 7? If so, did you install the desktop/notebook utility and the chipset drivers first? If not, the rest of the drivers will fail to install How to Install Drivers in Microsoft® Windows® on Dell Systems If you canot find Windows 7 drivers, try using the Vista(or XP) drivers and install them in the Compatibility mode
