Hi,
For the Logitech driver, it is confirmed as it is listed in their web site.
We did not "believe" it before and "thought" Windows 2003 "should" be the
same as Windows 2000 for hardware compatibility and many technical supports
would say the same.
It turns out, based on our own experiences, it is quite different in many
cases.
There are also other "hardware (e.g. BIOS settings)" and/or "driver" related
issues during our recent tests for trying to establish VPN, remote desktop,
and Wake-On-LAN.
What I could say is that Windows 2003 is pretty picky in terms of using
drivers and devices.
For instance, one change in LAN card's power management will ultimately
affect system and display performance.
So in the end, we turned everything back to Windows' native and default
settings.
Many thanks.
