Since my last post, I removed the device under System/Device Manager and
reinstalled it.  I keep getting stopped on the driver update even though I
have the Dell update file downloaded and unzipped into a folder.  Seems to
be unable to find a file it wants to complete the process.  In any case this
is where I am.

BIOS setup shows  integrated NIC is enabled.  System/Device Manager says the
NIC is operating properly.  ipconfig says cannot read ip configuration.
Last time I was at this at least the command ran even though it produced a
string of 0's for locations.  Again, apparently I don't understand the setup
logic for things under P&P.
