Network card problem in new Dell notebooks

Posted by Daman Dang on June 9, 2008

Please visit http://www.ezitfixes.com

Problem: You turned your laptop on and connected the network cable but the system is not connecting to the network. The network card (NIC) is not there in the device manager either as if it is not installed.

Cause:
When turned on with Power cable unplugged (running on battery), the Quickset utility in the newer Dell notebooks disables the network card by default thinking that you are on the go and won’t be connecting to a network cable.

Solution: Open the Quickset utility and select “Internal Network Card Power Management”. The “Internal Network Card Power Management” dialogue box will appear. Select the option “always activate on battery” and then click “Apply” and Restart your laptop.
