Hi wordsandwordsand,
If Network drivers are not installed, there will a bang in Device Manager on Network Controllers. You would need to download and install the Broadcom BCM57780 LOM, v.12.2.2.2, A00 under Network options from same link you mentioned in your post.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi everyone. I recently backed up my files and reinstalled Windows 7 on my Studio XPS 8100. However, it can't connect to the internet. It's wired by an ethernet connection, and troubleshooting says I don't have the ethernet driver.
Using the utilities and drivers CD that came with my computer, I can't get the modem driver installed. A warning pops up that says "device MODEM was not found". I then went on the website and downloaded the internet driver, specifically the four available here under "modem/communications". None of them worked.
I already knew it wasn't a router problem, because the wifi still worked for my laptop. So I proceeded to dual boot ubuntu, and ironically from Ubuntu I can connect to the internet without a problem.
Where do I go from here to get the driver to work on my Windows?
