Question about Dell OptiPlex GX240 PC Desktop
Purchased a dell optiplex GX240, tried to hook up my high speed internet, but it wouldnt connect so i tried device manger on the computer, clicked on ethernet controller and its saying "drivers for this device are not installed" when i try to reinstall the drivers, not online cos i'm not connected, it says, "windows could not find software for your device". I'm not computer savvy as i'm sure your well aware by now, but could anyone help me it would be appreciated. Thanks Marty
You can find all drivers you need for the Optiplex on Dell's support web site (link).
Choose the correct Operating system form the drop-down menu and look under Network. There is a download for the 3Com 3C905C Integrated Network Card, which is hopefully the model in your machine. Download the version for your harddrive and run the executable.
Here is the direct link for downloading the file.
If you have any more questions, just come back here and leave a comment - I'm happy to help.

When you purchased the PC the NIC(Network Interface Card) driver should be present in the Mother Board CD. Just run that CD and install the network driver, you can also ask for the MB CD from where you purchased your PC, since it must be still under warranty. Also ask your ISP for the domain address and the gateway too. After that you should be able to get connected to the net..........sodeep

You'll have to download the nerwork driver on another system. The driver is found on support.dell.com
