Windows Server Question for you IT Experts

[Skywalker]

I'm at that point the night I posed this. She is running just fine but a bit on the slow side for all the LAN PC's due to the 100mb bottle neck. if anyone would help and I'd pay what I can afford I have 2008 server if it will run on an ASUS K7V 800 Anthalon.

put the old cards back in, boot it up and see if everything is normal.

If it is, I would seriously consider leaving it alone. win2k was fragile, and a pain in the ass.

Sounds like Win2k won't give you those IP/config for your new card because it sees them as in use by the old NICs.

I would check these article out to see if they will help.
Not quite sure which will resemble your registry entry (been a while since I looked at win2k) but it is basically WinXP under the hood.

But honestly I wouldn't want Win2k on the internet due to vulnerabilities.
