-   Sorry about the double post I didn't realize it would post unless I signed up since when I tried to post I was asked for a login name. I guess I've got some learning to do on this forum.

-   I wonder would you mind explaining how to locate system model number or Dell part number? There seem to be more than one number on the board & from within it is difficult to know where to look.

Oh no I just went to enter my email address & when it wouldn't let me I backspaced to try again & everything I had added to this to further explain my problem was missing, so I'll start all over again only this time I'll Copy & Paste if I have the same problem.

OK we wiped the drive, reloaded the full version XP Home & all works except for internet connectivity. Assuming that there is no NIC card, as the only 2 internal cards are the modem card by Conexant (RD01-D860) with two RJ-11's and the Nvidia graphics card, I believe I have a similar need for mother board drivers. Does this make sense? The Comcast tech told us to check online for the motherboard or NIC model numbers but I think now that I have the wrong motherboard number.

Thanks

The only problem I am having is I cannot access the internet. A tech at Comcast told us to download drivers for the NIC card or the Motherboard. Since there are only two boards internal, one a modem board by Conexant & the other a Nvidia graphics board I must assume the driver s we need are for the motherboard.

The drive was wiped & we loaded the full version XP Home & all but the broadband connectivity is working fine.

Thank you.
