Win2000 Server Drivers

[Dark Ranger 0]

Just finished installing Windows 2000 Server on my home rig last night, in a multi-boot configuration. Installation went smooth, however I have one problem:

I can't find a Windows 2K Server driver that is compatible with my Network Card. The OS installation disk does not include a driver for this particular Network Card, the product Floppy Diskett includes drivers for Win9x-2000PRO, but not server. I checked LinkSys website for updates, as well as MS 2KServer site for updated drivers. No luck.

Does anyone know off-hand where I can aquire a driver for Windows 2000 Server? My network card is as follows:

LinkSys Model NC100 Version 2.1 Fast Ethernet 10/100 32-Bit PCI Network Card

Thanks

http://www.windowsxp-drivers.com/drivers/60/60023.htm You could give the XP one's a try. I doubt it will work but it couldn't really hurt. I googled all over for some 2K Server ones but no luck

Try the one for 2000Pro, they can't be that different. If it doesn't work, you've lost nothing but gained the knowledge that 2000Pro drivers won't work

I assumed you had tried the 2K Pro ones, if not then yes listen to RooK's advice first. If neither of those work, 2003 server looks nice.

Thanks for the replies:

@Stinger,

Thank you for the link. The XP driver DID NOT work with 2KServer, however, I did another search on that site, and d/led two different drivers, based on some of the reviews. A few people had used that specific driver for 2KServer without issues. So I unzipped it to a floppy, and installed it - works great. Just tested out my connection with Gigex Vietcong SP demo(99MB). 600KB/s or better d/l speed.

I now owe you one Stinger!

@RooK,

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually tried 2KPRO drivers first, and they didn't work with my system. I had trouble ejecting the hardware because of it.
