1.	Solve : Ethernet adapter disapeared?
Answer» Reinstalled XP Home on Dell Inspiron 6000 Laptop. Cant GET a wireless connection now. Called cable company, modem is fine. Called Dell, they want money, so I said forget it. My cable company had me go thru control panel / system / hardware / device manager/ and we found that I dont have a Local Area Connection. He told me to get an ethernet adapter from Dell. Went to website, and it says to use the Dell Inspiron Resource CD. Well, I dont have one. I bought the laptop second hand and the CD they gave me with it, was for a dimension. I didnt realize. It DOESNT solve the problem. Any one out there have this CD that they could zip and email to me? KimberleyQuote Called Dell, they want money, so I said forget it. Typical. If you have an internet cable, attatch on end to the router and the other end to your computer and see what happens. I don't THINK anyone here would send a CD, sorry about that.If you return to Dell's site and enter the service TAG# on the bottom of the laptop it will show your machine and what drivers you NEED for it.... If this is not fruitful try the Dell support Forums which have a ton of info.::)thank you to all who replied to my post. It is now working. Still going to try and find a copy of that resource cd though. they are always useful!!!!!No problem. Just stop by if you have any questions or problems.
