ethernet adapter not working (hp pavilion on win2003 server)

[ygermain]

hi,

this is very urgent, hope someone can help me here.

i just got that new machine (hp pavilion x2408) w/ Windows VISTA installed on it. I uninstalled vista and installed windows 2003 Server; the ethernet controller, pci com controller , sm bus controller are not working/recognized by the os.

where could i download these drivers from?

Thanks...

Hello Yann,

Could you post the Exact Pavilion model ?
Also, if the model does not support win2k3, you find the drivers listed;

However, if you know the exact type of the ethernet-NIC card then you can install it;

SM bus controller is the Chipset controller;

Regards,
James.

If you can't find drivers, you could run Windows Server on a Vmware Virtual Machine, then no drivers issues for this guest.

There's something weird about this, the x2408 in fact is the following adapter.

If you are talking about the desktop/pavilion / dv2400 series (dv2408 ..) there's not support available for Windows 2003, probably you could find drivers but from alternate locations.

Best regards,


Marco

Hi Yann,

Welcome to Forums!

Your question is moved from Windows 2000 category to Windows 2003 Server category, as your query is regarding Windows 2003 Server.
