Messed up Dimension 4100

Question

Ok - guess I've realy done it this time. Had error msg to reload windows me, would not re-install (stopped at 78% fatal error).   Went into explore and found wndows dir and did the del *.*   Ran install and windows went in just fine. System starts and seems to run just fine except  cannot get it on the inernet (DSL) cable pugged in but nada when I click internet explorer.   When I go to control panel, system, device manager there are yellow ?'s  as follows:   ?   Other Devices     ? PCI Ethernet Controller      ? PCI Input Controller     ? PCI Multimedia Audio Device   I have all the cd's that came with the computer but no manuals and no invoice to know what is in it.   Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Yibel, Sorry, I didn't notice. If is isn't listed, it was installed as a part of ME.

Yibel, After installing the operating system you must install all your system drivers (chipset driver first). The latest listing of drivers for your system is here.

Thank you for the prompt reply - in reviewing the link I don't see a 'Chipset' Driver nor do I find one on the resource cd, any help appreciated.

Thanks Denny, Is the order on the list the order I should go in? The only problems  I have are those with the yellow ? Like I said the machine runs well except for the internet problem.
