Internet Connection issues
I have a 2wire modem/router to connect to the internet. However, the ethernet controller on my Dell 8400 has a ? by it in the device manager. I'm told by the Internet provider that I need to download a driver to allow the connection. Which driver do I download? My network interface is listed as a Integrated Gigabit Ethernet (Product code IN - SKU - 430-0742). I've gone to the driver download page on Dell's website and entered my service tag, but I still don't really know which driver is needed OR if it's even listed. Broadcom-Driver
R87461.EXE (8MB) - shows optional, so I'm not sure if this is correct or not. By the way, the operating system is Windows(r) XP Professional.
Thanks
Hi. What's the model of your notebook? So we could possibly check the default ethernet card installed.

A driver will show as optional, if you already have a driver installed.
Unlike with wireless, there is usually only one driver for the wired network.
