Inspiron 4000 laptop or dsktop? which nic driver are you looking for?
</div>


<div>
It says laptop in my first sentence.
</div>


<div>
A quick look around memory for that laptop says that the maximum memory is 512MB. This is barely enough to run XP SP2 and is not enough to run SP3. Much stuff today that will run in XP requires SP3 to work. This is why I suggest you consider a newer laptop. ... Thinkpads_User<br />

Dell and many other vendors do not make laptops to updgrade to the next generation, which is probably what you have here. <br />
<br />
Unless you feel particular driven to save, it is likely time to move to a newer (gently used and cheap) XP Pro laptop. &nbsp;... Thinkpads_User<br />

Hello Thinkpads_User:<br />
<br />
I appreciate your kind suggestions. &nbsp;However, I restore and rehabilitate laptops and donate them to our local children's shelter. &nbsp;This may not be much of a laptop to you but to a child that has nothing it can bring many hours of amusement and exploration.
</div>


<div>
Thanks for the additional information which I was not aware of. So if we cannot get a NIC driver, a PCMCIA network card might be the next best choice. &nbsp;... Thinkpads_User<br />

<div>
If the laptop has USB (it may well have), here is a cheap USB -&gt; 100Mbps network adapter. <br />

May well work, but a PCMCIA card will be better if we can find one. ... Thinkpads_User<br />

What happens when you run the file?

&quot;Cannot install drivers. No Intel(R) adapters are present in this computer.&quot;

Sorry, says cannot continue, no better match.

Given your motives for restoring the laptop, see if the USB concept might work. I seem to recall it was about $35 and if no go here, it might work somewhere else. <br />

<div>
&quot;Sorry, says cannot continue, no better match&quot;<br />
<br />
That would mean that the drivers are already installed. Is the NIC flagged in the Device Manager?<br />

</div>


<div>
Thank you for all your help. &nbsp;We have not reached a solution but perhaps it is not available. &nbsp;I have inserted a PCMCIA wireless adapter in the laptop and will use that instead of a cabled Internet connection. &nbsp;The children's home is wireless so I do not think it will make much of a difference. &nbsp;I just wanted everything to work. <br />
By the way, this laptop is a piece of work, &nbsp;no signs of wear on the touchpad, two batteries, optical drive and floppy drive that are interchangeable, all the disks, and a like-new nylon carry. &nbsp;Sweet for being so old.<br />
Thanks again for your efforts!

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Laptops Notebooks

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
