I can't quite make out the text!

Anyway, open Control Panel.

Click on SYSTEM

Then Hardware, then Device Manager.

Do you see a yellow question mark?

Double click on that and select the option to reinstall the drivers, should get Have Disk, and select the directory where these files are.

Can't read the name clearly, but right click the first one and choose install.

If it doesn't install by either of our ways (mine and iceze), then I think the device sounds gubbed. I was concerned that there was no mention of it being recognised when plugged in.

It would be best if that's the case that you cut you losses and buy an internal Ethernet card.

Nope, there's no mention of your new Ethernet adaptor is there?

Still doing ipconfigs connected to the modem.

Doesn't really matter, the point is there's no mention of the ethernet adaptor, but I am curious about the bluetooth thingy?

Do you have a bluetooth dongle in?
