The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet adapter is working fine. Broadcom driver 12.2.0.3. But the ethernet controller is the problem. Here is the controller ID's PCI VEN10B7&DEV9200&SUBSYS100010B7. This computer worked great until I upgraded to Windows 7 and lost the drivers. I'm a Senior Citizen and I am not as sharp mind wise as I used to be.
I am trying to get this computer running again to give to a handicapped person whose computer died. I called Broadcom and they don't have any support people. Thanks again for all your help. Now it's clear.
That Ethernet controller is in fact 3Com 905C, and 3Com never release an updated driver past Windows XP, so even if you did save these before upgrade, they still would not be usable on Windows 7. So, you have two options, both will cost you about $10 - $15. One is to use USB-to-Ethernet adapter - one end plugs into a free USB port, the other end into the Ethernet cable. The other option is to actually open that desktop, and see what free expansions slots are there, and get corresponding Ethernet adapter.
Any online and brickstore should stock these, just make sure they have listed 'Windows 7' as supported OS. Now it's clear.
