Iinstalled a fresh Windows XP Pro on my Optiplex gx270 last week. Everything was fine but now I cannot get an internet connection. I followed all the steps on the dell support web site for the windows reinstall, putting all the drivers on in the correct order, all from my original resource CD. Then downloaded the new recommended driver for my service tag from the dell site, and still no ethernet controller driver is found (a yellow question mark with an exclamation mark on top in windows device manager). Tried a couple of times with the dell online chat, but was disconnected right away. Then spent another 1+ hour on the phone with dell tech support this morning. After uninstalling and reinstalling the same drivers I had previously installed, they apparently had no other suggestions and disconnected me. So I'm left with what was a pretty decent machine that is incapable of connecting to the internet. This must have happened to someone else in the past. Any ideas on what to try next? Or is it now destined for the landfill?
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I've tried both the Dell and the Intel drivers you refer to, and neither worked. For the cheap add-in, would it be a new PCI network card you'd be referring to? That would be pretty straightforward, and would take little time. I'm a little out of my league here, but is the ethernet controller integrated into the PCI card?
Hr Cooper....Do You Have Your Connection Problem Solved?>, If You Use A Cable or Phone Connection For Your Internet, Try Re-Installing The CONNECTION Disk That You Got When Signing Up For Service...Just A Suggestion !
I did buy the new network card, which installed fine but the lack of ethernet controller still kept the system from connecting. At that point I had made a couple of trips to the store and spent way too many hours on it, with no clear idea on what else could be wrong. So I'm pillaging it for parts, and I bought a new (cheap) PC. Not a Dell this time, though.
The R66787 installs and is proper, yet network adapters showed no driver. Some of these drivers seem like they install, but they want you to go into drivers section and click the setup.exe. Its like Dell/Drivers/R66787/winxp.
Buddy, I have been fighting this for a month. I am about to try your fix now, I'll let you know if I am successful but one way or another, you seem to have made a lot of people less likely to toss their Dell out of a third floor window
So, I had to install a new Power Supply for my PC a couple days ago because my PC wouldn't start. After I had life again and thought all was good, I immediately noticed I was unable to connect to my wired internet.
I went to device manager and noticed my ethernet device wasn't even listed under network adapters but now under other devices as "ethernet controller". When I clicked on it, I was met with the following device status: -The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) -There are no compatible drivers for this device. -To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.
I tried troubleshooting multiple times through windows but when I followed their steps and restarted my PC, still nothing changed. Then, I went to Intel forums, videos, and websites supporting my issue and went through various guided steps to try and solve this.
After installing the latest version of Intel Ethernet Adapter Complete Driver Pack and many hoops and bounds later, I went back into device manager and noticed my ethernet device was now showing under network adapters as "Intel(R) Ethernet Controller (2) I225-V".
In device manager, I attempted to automatically install the driver through windows and it would not work being unable to find a compatible driver. I also tried manually installing it and choosing a driver and was still unsuccessful.
After enabling/disabling my ethernet device, trying the steps over and over again, trying to install an older version of the driver, updating my BIOS, made sure my ethernet cables were stable and good, and going down tons of rabbit holes, I end up where I started with the same device statuses.
2. I don't know what caused my last power supply unit to fail. I was able to power on and operate my PC the night before like any typical night, but the next day it wouldn't power on at all after trying a different power cord, outlet, etc.
When I go into device manager and attempt updating the driver with the file I extracted from the Intel Ethernet Adapter Complete Driver Pack zip file I downloaded, I am met with this screen (image applies to both searching automatically for drivers, and browsing my PC files for driver.
I also made the discovery that when I click on "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer", and choose any of the listed Intel driver devices to try and install, I am met with the same (Code 10) this device cannot start. Additionally, now my device name of "ethernet controller" moves from the other devices tab to under the network adapter tab and matches the name of the driver device tried installing prior as you can see in this image:
So I went to your link and downloaded and extracted the zip file of "Intel Network Drivers" version 26.2.0.1 under the subcategory "LAN Drivers". I auto ran the app and attempted to install it was met with this screen:
Since you are using MSI product, with embedded NIC, contact MSI support for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or even replace the motherboard if it is found to be defective.

I don't have any training, but I think I know this is a configuration issue, and have tried all that I know. If any of you have had this problem, I would appreciate some suggestions, or fix procedure.
Got nearly the same problem on my Dell XPS 8930 due to the last NW-update in Feb 2023. Disabled the running KillerNetworkService.exe in taskmanager, then I get full (upload)speed on ethernet again. Only problem: After restart it's running again (so always manually switching it off :-/). Not really a solution, but anyway a workaround for a problem we never wanted to have.
(btw. Intel says that the E2400 is now on "community support" - nice word creation - so stay brave...)
I have the same issue with my XPS 8930 w/2400. What I found was that the "Prioritization Engine" switch in the Killer Intelligence Center was on and this messes with the upload speeds. When I turned it off, my upload speeds returned to normal. Unfortunately, Killer repeatedly resets the PE to being on after about two minutes. So, I uninstalled the "Killer Intelligence Center" app and did a reinstall using this link to get a newer version:
1) Go to the windows apps (Windows + I). Uninstall all Killer apps except "Killer Performance Driver Suite UWD". Leave this one alone, uninstall all other Killer apps. After each uninstall, it will ask you if you want to restart your computer. You do not need to restart until you have removed the Killer apps.
6) BTW, leaving the Killer Performance Driver Suite UWD app installed will prevent Intel from forcing a stealth reinstall of the drivers which causes the speed problem to reoccur. I have found this happens after a day or two in other methods of "fixing" this problem that I have tried. The above method has worked for me for over a month without the speed problem reoccurring.
