I had to reinstall the operating system on my laptop - Inspiron 8600. However, I do not have the drivers CD. Is there a place on Dell's web site that allow me to put in my Express code and Product code and it will tell me the on board items such as the Network Card and Modem?
I went to Product Support and it allows me to put in my Service tag number. But nowhere does it let me put in my express tag number. What I get as a response is a list of about 20 compatible NIC cards. This doesn't tell me which one was originally installed on my laptop.
You do not need your express service code. Go to the product support page and click on the link to show you your original configuration. Look at the network drivers page again. All but one of the choices are wireless devices. The top listing is the only ethernet devices shipped with your model. If you ordered a wireless networking device with your order, then you will either have to check on the invoice (which you probably lost too), or try different ones until you find the one that works.

Look at the upper left hand corner of the Community Forum window. Click on Product Support.
