a yellow mark indicates an IRQ conflict or an improperly installed or perhaps no driver for the ethernet card. you will have to determine what the problem is. an IRQ conflict could involve moving the card around until you get no conflict.

:smileyhappy: Thanks! The driver I needed for the Ethernet Controller was on the Resource CD that came with my Dell Dimension-Windows XP Home Edition(SP2).>>I searched just about all the posts and found two possiblities...(1)Intel Chipset for 2400[Controller Driver,this one was already installed...(2)Broadcom 4401 Integrated NIC[Network Driver,this installs the driver for the Ethernet Controller].>>Following instructions from answers Steve was providing to others , I removed(deleted) the Ethernet Controller in Device Manager(listed under others/Network Adapters);Rebooted and the "Hardware Found Wizard" redetected it.>>I knew if I was patient and read entries that applied to my situation I would find an answer!>>For anyone that reads this, make sure you only install drivers from the Resource CD that apply to your particular OS.>>Some have a check mark indicating already installed and some do not.
