    Bit of a noob question here...

    I just performed a fresh install of XP Pro on a new 60GB HD for my D600.

    I am unable to hook-up to the internet because the comp won't recognize the ethernet controller. It's a Broadcom 570x Gigabit Integrated Controller (#2).

    I've attempted downloading the drivers off of the Dell website from another computer and saving them on the D600, but it still won't utilize the driver. It will however recognize that an ethernet controller as new hardware when I restart XP and prompt me to install the driver.

    Any help here? I'd like to get this HD working asap.

    Thanks.

    Select the relevant INF file when installing through Device Manager.
