I have reinstalled windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 on my Inspiron
6000. I did not save anything, so I am starting fresh. I am unable to access
the internet. What is wrong? I can't play videos or cd's because it is
telling me that I have no sound device. I go and check, and it tells me it is
working. I just need to get the internet up and going so I can download any
drivers required. I have a second computer which is my main desktop, and I am
running a wireless device - Wireless-G 2.5 Broadband Router. Your most
sencere help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

PEACE!

After you installed your operating system, you needed to go to Dell's
website for your Inspiron 6000 and download/install all the drivers and
laptop-specific software. Get these files from your other computer and
transfer to your Inspiron.

Using the computer you have that can access the internet, visit
http://support.dell.com/support/down...n&catid=&impid
and download the communication and network drivers. Burn the
files to a CD, then copy to your Dell PC and install them.
