If life were only that simple! gboanna, you're going to need more, a lot more, than just Network Interface Controller (NIC) drivers after a fresh Windows XP install! (I take it you don't have the Drivers and Utilities CD described in the Dell Latitude D505 System Information Guide ?) Does your sound work? What video driver does the Device Manager say Windows XP using? (I'd bet it was generic!) You really want to use the drivers Dell provides before you use anything Windows (and Windows Update) selects....
You're going to need all the embedded device drivers, Intel® chipset utility, missing Dell applications, utilities, updates, etc. available at the Dell support site.

To really move things along, you could go here , enter your Dell service tag number and find out your system specifications and then know which drivers you need. (You can navigate from there to the Drivers and Download page and start downloading.)
This page contains the driver installation download for Video Controller (VGA Compatible) in supported models (AWRDACPI) that are running a supported operating system. Video Controller (VGA Compatible) Driver for INTELR - AWRDACPI working on Microsoft Windows XP Professional. Device Name: Video Controller (VGA Compatible).
Otherwise, you're going to have to go to the more general Dell Latitude D505 support page (reached by selecting 'laptop', 'Latitude' and 'D505') and then selecting from fifteen (15!) different NIC drivers. BTW, I think the RJ-45 network connector on the back of the Latitude D505 is for an Intel® PRO/100 VE Network Connection driver as it is the only unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet (AKA RJ-45) driver in the list. Be sure to download and and install only the drivers, etc. that you need. I'm quite sure that you've only got one of the fourteen wireless NICs you can chose from! Write back if you need more help! Good luck!
