Unless you have a dell recovery cd, you'll need the lan driver from dell to get going. With the lan device working, you can let windows do a search for the other device drivers for your dell motherboard. Or you can use another system to burn a cd with the dell drivers, or buy a cheap pci lan card with driver to get online.
