hello friends,
i bought a Dell Vostro 1015 Laptop & i formatted it with Windows 7 x32 Bit but after formating it I am unable to connect my broadband connection & also there is no network area connection available. I have downloaded network driver from the dell website & try to install it but it's giving me error (The realtek network controller was not found. If deep sleep mode is enabled please plug the cable.)
Can anyone help me to fix this problem.

Regards,
Chetan

your lan card is not responding. hardware issue i think, go see a technician. But this is not supposed to happen if the laptop is new. did u try to install the right network driver?

just some random guess, dont kill me for it :P
 
Hey,

Did you format it with your PC's OEM CD? If not that's why it didn't include your PC's drivers. Your PC should have come with a driver install CD. If you have none of this, download all the required drivers from the website.
 
Double check from Dell site if the LAN Card Driver for your laptop model is compatible with Windows 7 or not. Seems like a driver issue to me.

Why did you format it? What was the built-in OS when you bought the lappy?
 
It seems vostro came with windows 7. It should have both lan & wifi connection to the internet.

Reboot and check the bios to see if somehow either has been disabled.
