Only 1 of the 2 lights, an orange one. My router, however, is not displaying any light. Even after a hard rest.

I hope I snap all the information you need. Picture below: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-TVNQvLsal1g/T2ODCNmod6I/AAAAAAAA-eI/eeqmAfIJni4/s720/CameraZOOM-20120316111304586.jpg

In a last ditch effort, I reinstalled Win7, x86 this time, and reintalled the recommended drivers. Now, my ethernet adapter is being shown. Under my network adapters it is labeled: "Local Area Network The network cable is unplugged Broadcom virtual wireless adapter" The network cable is...

It's so disappointing also because I just bought a NAS with 6TB. I was hoping to finally get my dream XBMC setup. Just another small delay.

Yeah, that was the whole point of this thread. My wireless was working my my actual wired NIC was not. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. But, it looks like a wired USB is my best option.

Yeah, I was just thinking about that. The only reason I really need the NIC is to stream HD movies. This computer is used as my HTPC and the kids and wife are getting antsy for me to get it working again with smooth streaming. Well, I appreciate everyone's help.

No room for a PCI or PCI-E NIC, it's a really compact case. I used the linux live CD and was unable to get get the NIC to work, but that could have been my lack of experience with linux. I'm not totally convinced it is a hardware failure. It is just too odd to me one minute it is working no...

Damn, it was a good idea with bad results. Still not recognized, I'm worried it's FUBAR'd. I'm reformatting again, hopefully with different results but I'm starting to figure a hardware failure. If I find anything out I will report back. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, I was starting to worry about that. Perhaps I will wait just a bit longer to see if anyone else has any ideas before I reinstall again; even if I reinstall again, I am worried that I won't have the correct drivers to make it work anyway. I did just take apart the computer. The NIC is...

Thanks for all the reply! I've been busy with school (finals) so I have been not as intentive on this thread as I need to be, I appreciate all the help. As of right now, the device doesn't even show up under my device manager. It only shows my wireless, which is listed as "DW1501 Wireless-N...

That's a good question. At first, it was shown as an unknown device until I installed that Broadcom driver which then labeled it as a Virtual Wireless Device. Once I realized that wasn't the correct driver, I uninstalled it and now it no longer displays any driver for my NIC. My wireless...

Yes I have. Windows does not recognize it at all. It won't even show up under my device manager. My BIOS recognizes it, so I know it's not a broken NIC.

Hey guys, I'm at my wit's end on this particular problem. My specs: Dell Zino 410 HD Win7 x64 I reformatted the HDD, installed windows and found that my NIC was not being recognized. Using the drivers CD from Dell, I installed the drivers but still no luck. Went to dell.com, updated...

I figured as much. I was hoping that there might be some software that could help me correct this issue. Thanks

I purchased a Dell Zino as my HTPC. To make things easy on my family I have it hooked up to my Samsung TV in two different ways. 1. HDMI to my Samsung receiver -> TV 2. DVI + 3.5mm -> TV This way we can crank up the speakers and watch some movies or, make it easy for the wife/kids to...
