I have a new laptop interfacing to the same modem and router and has no problem finding the server. Has my ethernet driver in error??My Dell Dimension 5100, Windows 2000, suddenly no longer communicates with the internet via my dsl modem.

you must turn one of ,one driver will be for Ethernet the other for wifi.right hand side connect icon right click go to network and sharing ,left hand side up top change adapter choose the one you want.as the the yellow marks its telling those drivers are missing.you need either to download them or look for your driver or motherboard disc as the drivers will be on there.
You can find all the drivers Except the sm bus controller on Sony's web site. If you have a ATI Graphics board, go to there site to get the SM bus controller drive.
Hi
This is the software issue. Need to install the appropriate software to reslove this issue.
1.Ethernet controler - Need to install the chipset driver and the Lan driver
2.Pci bus device - Chipset driver
3. sm bus controller - After installation of the Chipset driver - Right click on the sm bus controller and update the driver - select install from specific location - i will chose the location- Select the model and hardware type as thermal sensor
next - follow the instruction.
4. video controller - Need to install the VGA or Display driver
5. video controller (vga compatiable) - Need to install the VGA or Display driver
goto the ACER website, i use the exact same laptop, they provide all the drivers for Windows Xp Home/Pro Vista HB,HP,B,U both x64 and x86
Depending on your operating system, is what drivers you need, linux drivers are not provided.
download freeware program like cpuid, this will determine the actual parts manufacturer for the motherboard, then download drivers from that companies site instead of from gateway.
i hope u re install your operating system,
after the re installation u did not install the drivers that is the reson, best way u buy an ethernet card and try to get net connection and down load the drivers from dell.com ,then remove the card ,thats it.
