I have reinstalled XP on a DELL Dimension 8250. Everything went well, but I can't connect to a network. Looking in Device manager, There is a big yellow question mark next to Ethernet Controller. Properties tells me that no drivers are installed for this device.
Any idea what drives are need, and where I can get them from.

same exact problem (i think). re-installed xp on an inspiron 9200 and couldn't connect to internet. when i go to device mgr, ethernet controller, audio controller, video controller, and pci modem are all without drivers. downloading from sites suggested above (tried both), seemed to install properly, but when i try to install driver, keep getting message that file not found even though it's pointing to files where the drivers were downloaded and installed to (c:\dell\drivers etc)
any suggestions? i'm not a computer person and i need HELP!
