I can almost guarantee that whoever sold you the computer didnt install the ethernet driver from the manufacturers website. Without it, it shouldnt even show the option on the desktop. Anyway, youll find everything you need here:

So do I download load one from Dell? And how sure are you that it will work because it's hard to find one that is compatible with my laptop. Also is it as easy as it look and what are the step I need to take after it's install to my laptop.

The link that I gave you originally leads to the manufacturers page for that specific computer so Im %100 positive as to it being compatible drivers. I've done most of the work for you, now you just need to select the ethernet driver from the drop down list and download to install.

In fact to save you even more time, heres the link to the specific driver youre looking for direct from Dell's website for the e6150. Just click download and install.
