 This on my Dell B110 desktop. I re-installed Windows XP from CD but in 'Device Manager" it shows Ethernet controller "Device Driver Not Installed".
How do I install this driver with no ethernet for an internet connection?
I tried downloading the installation software from Dell on another PC and burned that file to disc - then inserted the disc into this computer but I still can't get the ethernet driver to install.
What am I doing wrong?
As always, thanks for any help.
Mike

Try using a flash drive instead and start with the Chipset driver then install the Network Card. http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/dimension-1100
