Download and install the drivers on the 2300. Did you read my last post?

Did you install the drivers in the correct order - the chipset drivers MUST be installed before any other device drivers. Otherwise, the drivers for the network adapter can be found at:

Did you install the chipset drivers before even attempting to install other device drivers? Without the chipset drivers, Window will not be able to recongize nor install drivers for many other devices.
Is the network adapter disabled in the BIOS?

willoneone,
The chipset drivers are the drivers listed on the Dell download page under the topic Chipset.
http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=&SystemID=DIM_PNT_P4_2300&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=&impid=
I pointed you to the drivers for the network adapter in a previous post.

I rebooted my computer, and install the chipset first...
after that I need open the c/dell/driver/R......folder, and click set up.
Then
I can find the network adapter now. thank you for your help.

Did you download the network drivers from the following site:
http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R48857&SystemID=DIM_PNT_P4_2300&servicetag=&os=WW1&osl=en&deviceid=2731&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=1&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=5&fileid=57536
You will need to download these on a computer with an internet connection, move the file to your problem computer, then run the file to install the drivers.
