it's likely that you do not have the drivers for the Broadcom nic loaded. Go into device manager and expand the Network adapter section. If you have no entry for the Broadcom or have a red cross against it (disabled) or there is a question mark agaist an unknown device listed under other then there's your problem.
Drivers can be downloaded from the DELL website.
Otherwise it could be the cable you are using or where it's connecting into.
start menu, right click my computer, manage, device manager, check if the base system device or unknown device has a yellow question mark next to it, if so download the correct driver from dell.coms support/downloads section, yuo will need to select your model and operating system.
