Driver ethernet Windows XP

[fabrizio trentin]

Hi, I must install win xp on Proliant 120 g5. can you provide me the ethernet driver? Thanks a lot.

Hi my Friend!

Windows XP is not a Server Operating System and it is not recommended. That's the reason why there are no Drivers for the Proliant Server DL120 G5 for windows XP. You might try other drivers, but it might not work. The NIC on this server is NC105i.

Try this one and let me know if that one worked:

Hi. I know that xp is not a server os but I must do that. The driver you provided don't work because the setup program tell me that the os is not correct.

Trying Updating the BIOS to the latest version. Sometimes the latest BIOS provides more compatibility features for the Operating Systems. Is that Windows XP professional 32bits?

This is the latest BIOS for the Proliant DL120 G5:
