Hi everyone,

I own a Latitude D600 use the wireless adapter every day without a hitch. Recently though, my computer has failed to recognize both my wired ethernet adapter and my 56K modem. These two components both came with the system and worked fine until a point. I first noticed the problem when the wired connection did not appear under "Network Connections". I visited Device Manager to find only the 'TrueMobile 1300 WLAN' listed under network adapters, and no ethernet adapter. I downloaded fresh drivers from the dell website for both the modem and ethernet adapter* but when I tried to install either, I eventually would get a message along the lines of "no adapter found".

My only guess is that there is some physical problem with these two pieces of internal hardware (they are right next to each other on the back of the computer). Another weird thing, the ethernet port lights up and shows activity when the wireless adapter is being used, which may suggest it is not physically damaged.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Patrick
