reinstalled vista after installing a new hdd now cant go online with a wireless or wired connection I get network controller code 1
Hi daisymarie ,
Welcome to HTG ,
Open up Device Manager and check the Ethernet device, does it have a yellow symbol on it ?
Did you install the drivers for the LAN adapter or the wireless card? You must go to the DELL.com website for your model and download the drivers. If you do not have a disk that came with the computer you will have to go to another computer to do this.
Network Controller has the yellow symbol ive gone to dell site and downloaded all drivers that r recommended for my dell inspirion
Did you install ALL Machine Device Drivers ??
Ensure to pick the correct operating system in the drop down menu box.
I do not have disk ! So ive used another pc and made a disk.
I did still have yellow symbol on network controller Its giving me code 1. I cannot go online wired or wireless
The question is did you go to the Dell Web site and get and install the drivers for your LAN??
I did download the driver for the wireless wlan mini half card
LAN = Local Area Network adapter. It is available on the page I and others quoted above.
is the lan the same as the wlan mini half card Im on the support page checking drivers and find only wlan driver downloads
If that is the device installed in your computer. Then that is it.
I put in service tag and get the drivers for my service tag . There are 6 downloads for network ive downloaded all and still get code 1
Need to install the [ Marvell-Driver ] and hook the computer up with a LAN cable to your router First.
Marvell Ethernet driver installed and tried hooking up with Ethernet cable but it states my cable is unplugged
Restart the computer and check Device Manager again for yellow symbols.
Didi you actually Install the driver or just download it ?
You need to double click the driver to install it.
Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller Driver Software is installed
downloaded wlan mini card but not showing in my device manager why?
Make sure your wlan is turned ON. To turn it ON, use the F2 (or Fn+F2) keys.
pressed f2 button nothing happens but im not showing the wlan mini card in my device manager
Does the laptop have a wlan indicator? Something that changes led light color, normally blue when turned ON?
Is it enabled in the BIOS ? Is it enabled in Services ?
Laptop has wlan indicator but its not lit up at all and yes its usually blue when turned on. How would I enable in bios or services?
As soon as you boot up the machine, start tapping the F2 key very rapidly. That gets you into BIOS. For Services, type services.msc into Start search (or a run box). WLAN is down near the bottom of the list.
WLAN service status is now started lets hope this works. Why tho when I hit apply its taking forever any ideas?
Best to set it to Automatic, and then reboot the laptop.
no change when I go to connect to internet it says no wireless network adapter installed but idownloaded 1 but its not showing up. network controller still yellow symbol . device status (code 1) not configured properly, no driver selected for this device
its very discouraging Im almost at point of giving up this is terrible I never give up :(
daisymarie ,
I think you are at the point of having to take it to a repair shop, the reason being it's very hard to know what's going on without seeing what's happening each time.
Uninstall the driver in Device Manager, and then reboot the laptop. What shows in DM then ?
which driver? when I uninstall network controller theres no more yellow marks but when I reboot it trys to install the network installer but it can not find files and I don't have disc:(
Go to the Dell support site. Enter your Service Tag. You will find the drivers there.
