Please help Missing ethernet controller driver

Question

Hi, I bought Inspiron 5100 from DEll. Recently i had to reinstall the OS on my computer. Now it does not detect the ethernet controller. I installaed all the components from resource CD but still it shows a yellow question and exclamation mark resides ethernet controller. My comp service tag is 7GTPN31. Can you please tell me which driver i need to download for this. I looked at the driver download section at dell site but was not sure which is the right one. Thankyou.

Did you install the chipset drivers as the first drivers installed after the installation of Windows? If not, go back and install the chipset drivers then try to install the ethernet network adapter drivers.
