[SOLVED] Dell Latitude D600 Driver Help

SirToasty · 07-24-2009, 02:58 PM

I'm running a Dell latitude D600 with Vista Home Basic on it. The wireless works on it and but the ethernet port doesnt work, and thats the last driver that i cant find. I was looking at another post and i seen to download Everest. So i download it and i seen this Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5702 Gigabit Ethernet Controller. What can i do from here.

Well Update: I closed it and reopened it and that name isnt there anymore it says ethernet controller [NoDB]

Hello,

Once the file is downloaded you will need to extract the files and run the setup file.

Did you go to the Dell support site, enter your Service Tag Number and download the drivers

This computer doesnt have a service tag number. (it kinda fell off the truck and my mom brought it.) and on the dell web site there no drivers for this computer while running vista only xp. And when i open the folders to run the setup program. In the folder theres only 3 files which are (b57win32, b47win32, b57xp32.sys) But in the other drivers i install they had a setup i can run

Try opening Device Manager and choose update Driver.

Choose the location where you extracted the files.
