The full list of drivers for the Vostro 200 are:

  • Intel® G33 chipset driver
  • Realtek™ ALC888 audio drivers
  • Intel integrated video drivers
  • Intel 82562V network drivers
  • Drivers for any PCI Express® video cards installed
  • Drivers for any PCI or PCI Express cards installed

If you did not install the network driver that could be the problem.  Also, if you check Device Manager, does it is show anything with a !, ? or red X on it?
