Intel(R) 82566DM Gigabit Network Connection

[Ian]

I didn't see a newsgroup about Server 2008, but I think I can assume
somewhat that the drivers for vista should work for Server 2008. I am
installing the RC0 from my TechNet subscription for evaulation and
cannot get the network drivers to load.

Device Manager lists the Intel(R) 82566DM Gigabit Network Connection
with a Yellow !. I have downloaded the vista drivers from Intel, and
they have failed to fix the issue.

Any advice or suggestions?

Thanks,

Can you try a Server 2003 driver? I recently had a Win2K8 beta server
with no NIC driver, but a Win2K3 driver installed and worked fine.

Did not seem to work, downloadcenter.intel.com is not working for me.. I
tried getting the drivers from another source, I did, but nothing works yet.

Thanks for the reply.. still troubleshooting and looking for suggestions.

Hello ,

Thank you for your post.

Please note, because Windows Server 2008 is not officially released yet,
some manufacturers may not produce or has produced but not publish the
device drivers for Windows Server 2008 in public.

Therefore, I would like to recommend you to contact to Intel Corporation
directly for more assistance.

Please understand that I don't intend to bounce you between different
support services.

It is hardware manufacturers' responsibility to provide the device drivers
and they should be the best support resources for this kind of issue.

Your understanding are greatly appreciated. Thanks!


Sincerely,
