Ethernet Drivers

[JimiP]

OK, I recently re-installed Windows XP Home Edition SP2 on an older Dell Dimension 2400. Intel Celeron 2.4GHz CPU, 512MB DDR-400 RAM, 80GB HDD. I installed Windows without a hitch but now it comes time to find all the drivers.

I cannot plug the ethernet cable and go and surf the web for drivers because unfortunately, one of the drivers that is missing, is the Ethernet Driver. I don't have one of those handy USB>>Ethernet adapters. I should definitely consider purchasing one though... LOL

I hate to do this but could any of you be so kind as to HELP me locate the Ethernet Driver? I have searched on Google for some answers but I can't find anything driver related, only hardware related, i.e. CPU, RAM, HDD. I need to know which Ethernet the PC is using. If I know that much, I will more than likely be able to find the driver myself.

If anyone could give me a helping hand, I would be very appreciated.

Actually, I went to that page but I'm unsure about which one to download... LOL

Sorry, I see it. Broadcom Driver?

Yes. Click on the link labeled Broadcom - Driver.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I totally looked right past that driver. haha

I am setting up a smaller system for a fileserver. 2.4GHz Northwood Celeron, 512MB DDR-400 RAM, and an 80GB HDD. It runs like a champ - lol

Dimesion 2400 was a dog, and the only useful function I can think of for it, is what you have in mind.
