My Mom's old Dell won't stay consistently connected. I tried multiple ethernet cords, all that work on mine but not hers. I also tried a PCI adaptor, but that lacked connecting as well. I tried plugging her back directly into the DSL router, since we both have been sharing a hub, but that does not work either. Any ideas? I don't think I can reinstall Windows XP because I can't find her CD.

You need the drivers for sound from dell.com. Post the model of the dell.

1. Update the driver?
2. If it was recently updated, roll it back.

Check Drivers
Check Ethernet Cord
Check NIC
Check Wall Outlet (if applicable)
Check Wall cable (if applicable)

Make sure the dog hasn't chewed up the Ethernet cable. (It has happened!)

Did you also try another switch port?

I think its a case of lose cord connection.
