Missing Ethernet Controller Inspiron e1405

Hi guys,

So I recently reformatted my Inspiron e1405, and most everything works fine, including my wifi internet.

However, when I try to use an ethernet plug and try to connect to the internet that way, it never works.

When I open up device manager, there's a big yellow question mark on Ethernet Controller.

I have the drivers and utilities cd, I just have no idea what driver I need to download to fix this ethernet controller problem.

Can anybody give me the name of a specific driver/controller that I need to download?

Thanks a lot! =]

- Jonathan

Before you install the driver (below), be sure you've installed the Dell notebook system software (under system utilities) and chipset driver (under chipset).

Then install

I believe it is 32 bit. It runs windows xp and I got it in 2006. I tried looking on system properties, but it doesn't clearly tell me whether or not it's 32 or 64. But I'm guessing it's 32.
