Still the same error. The machine is a couple of years old and my friend assures me that she has the disks (even though I don't have them yet). But I felt pretty sure that Dell has their drivers out there on the drive so I proceeded and uninstalled the network adaptor vis device manager and rebooted. Sure enough Windows detected new hardware and reinstalled drivers. I'm using dns on this machine and I guess the tcp/ip properties just default to that anyway (hardwired to router). I should mention that I've been getting the same Fatal error both on my wired ethernet as well as originally at my friend's house on her wireless adaptor. Thanks.
