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.
