Okay.

I just done a clean install from my DELL OEM disk of Windows Professional.
Normally, LAN settings are automatically detected butthis has me stumped.
It won't detect settings, connect manually or anything.

I currently connect straight to a router but with the LAN missing, I cannot do it.

Help !
