I recently upgraded a Dell XPS Gen 2 M170 from Vista to Win7 Ultimate.
Everything went fine except the Broadcom NIC was not recognized. I was able to get it installed using XP drivers in compatibility mode.
Now whats driving me nuts is that when I try to connect to the internet, I get this message: local area network doesn't have a valid ip configuration
when I click on network, I can see other things in my network Directv share etc) so the adapter is working, But for the life of me I cannot connect to the internet.
PLEASE I would love for suggestions and help on this one
Many thanks
