Windows 2003 and NICs?

Does anyone know where to get NIC drivers for Windows 2003? By default it comes with none, and I have a Linksys LNE100TX Version 2.0 NIC which it doesn't detect.

Thanks!
 
Yeah it picked up the VMWare driver for me just fine too. 🙂 It's when I put it in a real computer it cannot find any NICs.

Not true. It found both my Realtek and Intel cards just fine. Try the XP drivers (not 2K) for any your missing.

How do I get the XP drivers?

From linksys.com of course.

You'll need to identify which chip your card has on it to figure out which driver to download. Linksys used a number of different chipsets for that model. The download page has pictures of the different cards.

Can I suggest the 'get a real nic' comments are particullarly helpfull to sirfergy....

Thanks!

Also, I happen to have a Negear FA310TX that has the same problem. Oddly enough, Netgear doesn't even post drivers on their website anymore for that card. I had to use the original floppy it came with.
 
My comment wasn't meant to be snide. I was simply pointing out that maybe Microsoft didn't go to the trouble to include support for lower tier cards. The market for W2K and 2003 Server usually uses higher-end stuff.

And yet the still force you to use a video card with their 'server' OS, strange.

Perhaps beacuse of windows media server tight integration to the server which is a big part for broadcasting multimedia server technology with windows-media asf, wma/wmv etc.

If their media broadcasting is tied to the UI, they've got some majorly broken interdependencies.

Don't know what you mean? but windows media has been considered in the development for sure
, just see this link It goes down to the protocol level as well as multhi-threading.
this is the biggest diffrence from 'nix servers i guess in that respect.

NH, I like you, I really do, but your constant MS bashing gets really annoying. Especially when it's baseless. 😉

Well, XP drivers where your only real choice. If the vendor hasn't provided them, they are unlikely to provde W3k ones (their basically the same driver, if not identical, unlike 2k to XP). Afraid you might be stuck with that card...

Sorry,
Bill

I don't think there is a solution. Until/Unless Linksys releases a driver, your card is unsupported.

I actually don't know what your trying to say here 😉, but the headless issue has nothing to do with media streaming.

Bill, could you setup windows media server and broadcast with windows media encoder from the 'headless server' ?
