    Did you install the chipset drivers as the first device drives installed after reinstallation of Windows?  These must be installed first, or Windows may get confused and not properly install the other device drivers.  Is your computer the Inspiron 600m?

    Just go into Device Manager, remove the devices, reboot, and reinstall the drivers for the devices.

    To start with, remove the ethernet adapter, since that is what you are trying to get to work.  If you later find that other devices don't work because you didn't install the chipset drivers first, then you will have to remove those devices, reboot, and reinstall the drivers for those devices.

    Please Note that all the other Drivers are working properly exept this ethernet control.

    No, you shouldn't remove the chipset driver.  Now just try and install the network card driver again.
