network-problems with my fe21h

hi,

first: overall, i'm really happy with my fe21h; especially the display really rocks!

i recently bought the docking-station vgn-prfe1 because of the dvi-d-connector and to get rid of the annoying cables on my desktop. but when docked, i don't get any network-connection. windows (xp) says the cable would be disconnected. when i take a look at the device-manager, i see a yellow question-mark labeled "ethernet-controller". when trying to install a driver for it, windows says it can't find any suitable driver. searching the net also wasn't successful. can you help?

there's another problem i'm having concerning network-stuff: as soon as i activate the built-in WLAN-adaptor, all my local servers (ping, spamihilator, apache, mysql...) needed for webdesign can't be reached anymore. http://localhost (or 127.0.0.1 or the dynamic IP) result in an error. what could that be? i'd be very very thankful for any help concerning this, since it's very important for me.

thanks, stefan.
