Need network controller driver

mvparker79 · 09-04-2009, 09:02 PM

I'm trying to get the network controller driver for this HP Pavilion ze5200 laptop. I was uninstalling uneccesary programs and accidentally deleted this one. I've downloaded the wireless driver from HP's website and it didn't help. My system info program tells me that the mother board is model 0850 by HP.

If anyone can help that would be AWESOME! Thanks!

Hi,
Is this the LAN or the wireless LAN you are refering to?

Also is this a ZE5200CTO or ZE5200. HP list several models:

Hey BIll, thanks for the quick reply. I've tried the drivers on both models. I'm not sure which one it is. I believe I'm needing a driver for the motherboard, but I can't be certain.

Look for the service tag on the bottom of the laptop and post the number.

Are you tring to connect to the internet wirelessly or hardwired?

I've got numbers all over the bottom of this thing and nothing says service tag. But I do have a sticker that says model xt575 and there is an HP serial number CN30932956

I'm trying to connect wirelessly. I installed a D-Link USB wireless card and got on the internet. Then I started uninstalling stuff so as to free up some memory (this thing only has 500mb), but after I uninstalled something I believe was the HP wireless network controller (or something to that effect) the internet stopped. I tried re-installing the D-Link wireless card but I get the same problem.

See if this helps you with the product #:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...t_page=product

If you are sure of the model # XT575 then this should be the link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...product=298467

It list several under Network, but if you go to the Device Manager and post the error you have (Yellow !) then right click on this error>Properties>Details tab. Post the info you find under Device Instance ID.
This will help me narrow it down.

I got all the files I needed. Thanks so much for your help! Everything is working perfectly. Now all I have to do is max this thing out on memory and it's good to go! Thanks again for everything.

Glad to hear it.
I hope the links I posted worked for you, did they?

If this is a XT575 the max memory is PC2100 at 1GB.
You only have two slots so you will need (2) 512Ram PC2100.
