Dell dimension 4600 setup

SOURCE: ethernet driver for dell dimension 4600

Hi stefyboy - Below is a link where you can download your driver. After you get to the page just make sure it says Windows XP as the operating system. Then scroll down and click on the + next to where it says network. You want the intel 10/100 driver. I've included a few a ways to install it. If your kinda new to this the easiest is the download to desktop method and just remember where it unzipped it to, you can always move it to a driver directory where you can keep all your drivers for the future.

If this solves your problem PLEASE rate this as fixed. If not, DO NOT RATE YET. Just add a comment letting me know what happened and I'll be glad to assist you further. Thanks.

SOURCE: I have two dell computers,

even though the memory stick sizes are the same, and the speed, there are other differences between memory types, such as parity/non parity, 2x32, 16x4 etc. more than likely, the speed of the memory sticks are different. the easiest fix for this is put the slower memory sticks in bank0 and bank1 (logical numbering used) and then the faster memory sticks in bank3 and bank4. this will cause the faster memory sticks to run at the speed of the slower memory sticks. If your sticks are parity and non-parity mix, then you will probably not be able to combine them.

SOURCE: adding Dell Dimension 4600 to existing wireless network?...

Go to Staples and purchase a Linksys USB wireless-G (only G needed - the new "N" protocol is overkill) adapter (~$60.00). Insert the Linksys CD and follow the instructions. When prompted, plug the USB adapter into the Dell (frt or back) doesn't matter. If his "roomies" have security enabled on their router, you'll need to know the level, password/passphrase, and the network name that they assigned.
Good luck.
