Networking difficulties

[Guest]

I just re-installed Windows Vista onto my Dell Inspirion 600m without
problems but when i tried to connect to the internet i met some challenges.
First of which Vista did not discover my wireless router. I've used several
diffirent computers on my router with windows xp and they have worked
flawlessly. So I decided i'd try to use an ethernet cable. This too however
did not work. Vista simply cannot find my router. It continuely tells me the
hardware isn't updated or cannot support the connection. I think I need to
update or install new drivers but I have nooo idea what drivers to install

When you install an operating system, you then need to install drivers
for all your hardware supporting that specific operating system. You
need to go to Dell's tech support site and download Vista drivers for
your Inspiron 600m. You need chipset, network adapter (which is why you
aren't getting to the Internet), wireless adapter, video adapter, audio,
touchpad, and any laptop-specific software Dell provides for your model.
