Win2k3 Woes

[MyndFyre]

I can't get my network card to install!

I'm relatively certain I'll be able to install my USB wireless card.  But my Ethernet controller -- nope!

Linksys LNE100TX version 4.  Supported with a driver that shipped with Windows XP.

However, when I popped in my MSDN operating systems DVD and told it to look in the WinXP folders, it came up with nada.

When I downloaded the drivers from the Linksys website (the newest driver available was Win2k), and put it on there, nothing.

If you're trying to install it on another operating system other than Windows XP (persumably Windows Server 2003) then there's a chance the driver won't install correctly...Most drivers however, for NT 5.0+ will be supported accross operating systems.  Does Windows detect your Ethernet controller (control panel -> system -> hardware -> device manager; and do you see a yellow question mark to your ethernet controller?)?

Yes.

I choose to "Reinstall Driver" from the properties dialog.  I walk it through -- no automatic detection, so I tell it to manually search the entire MSDN DVD, or I'll point it at specific places.  When I had the disk, I told it to scan the \Win2000 folder.  Turned up nothing.

Fortunately, though, like I said, I use wireless at home.
