dxpsteve Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I have been having some issues trying to get an Inspiron 2500 upgraded to XP. Everything has been installed, however, I cannot get it online.I think my problem has to do with the hardware itself and finding the appropriate drivers.I have tried Dell support as well as many other driver sites, however none of them seem to work. In fact, the computer won't even recognize the network card. I also noticed that in the Device Manager, under Modems, there is one item called "Lucent Win Modem." I figured that maybe it would recognize the NIC if I installed the Dell driver for the modem. However, Windows will not let me do so. Anytime I remove the Lucent Win Modem, and try to re-add the hardware, it automatically loads it as Lucent Win Modem again. Also, I have tried changing the driver, however it says that the driver information I have selected does not match the device.This should have just been a simple task; I was assigned to format the notebook, and install a fresh copy of XP. However, I cannot complete everything I'm supposed to have done until I can obtain updates online. Can anybody shine some light on this problem? If you need anymore information, please just say so. Thanks in advance, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
