hello i have an inspiron 1520 with a "broadcom 440x10/integrated controller" thats what its says the name for the LAN card in my laptop. After formatting VISTA and reinstalling all the drivers from the laptop resource CD and it shows that im connected to a network when i plug in the LAN cable but when i run something like warcraft 3, it doesnt show me the other pcs game (meaning LAN doesnt function) and when i connect it to a DSL modem, it says to insatll the LAN drivers (which are already installed)

so i dont get it. LAN doesnt work even when drivers are installed and "this device is working properly" according to device manager"
