Hi im kind of new at this forum thing but i turned to it as my last resort...
-MB’s model name: Foxconn L S-36
-CPU type and model: Intel Pentium 4 2.40 GHZ
The Problem:
I recently replaced my hard drive because there was a failure.
I formatted the new hard drive with windows xp home edition and when i went to install the drivers...
everything was ok...i went to device manager and installed everything that needed to be installed...
ONLY THING IS THAT THE NETWORK CONTROLLER IS NOT SHOWING UP ON DEVICE MANAGER...
any suggestions? is there any way that the on-board ethernet controller might be defective or disconnected?
i am stumped...i tried everything...
if anyone can help me that would be greatly appreciated...
oh yeah my system is a dell dimension 2400...the ethernet controller is a broadcom 4401
