...downloaded and open the drivers for the ethernet adapter...
What do you mean "open the drivers"?  There should be 1 file which you execute (double-click). it will extract all the files to a C:\dell\"folder name", and should run the setup automatically.  If not, double-click the extracted setup file.did all thatWrong drivers, possibly?when i enter my service tag on dell support, it gives me 2 drivers, one for wired, and one for wirelessHTTP://support.microsoft.com/kb/310123
Code 29: This device is disabled because the firmware of the device did not give it the required resources. (Code 29)

Enable the device in the BIOS.
How do I do that exactlyWhen you first start your computer, before it boots into an OS, there will be something along the lines of "Press [a key] to enter Setup Configuration/BIOS/Setup Utility/Configuration Menu."
In the BIOS, look for something along the lines of "Hardware," "Devices," etc. GO INSIDE that tab and you may be able to enable/disable your ethernet adapter.
I noticed you wrote "ethernet adapter" is it an adapter in a PCI slot or do you just mean the ethernet port on the motherboard?EDIT: I found your XPS 400 BIOS Setup Manual:

There is a tab called "Onboard Devices," under which you have to set "Integrated NIC Controller" to "On with PXE."I also face this problem in Dell desktop pc and using window 7.
