Need NIC Driver

I installed Vista into a VPC (MS VPC 2004) but the network card will not
work. I installed the add-on pack and still does not work. It shows up as a
"Intel 21140-Based PCI Fast Enternet Adapter (Emulated)". I am running a
Intel PRO/1000 PL Network Card.

Any help is appreciated.
 
Hello,

I did a search of the drivers available according to Intel's website...I
show no Beta drivers for Vista. This could mean that Intel has yet to provide
MS with a suitable driver. Until they, or a third party producers a driver
compatible with Vista...You may be SOL on using that particular piece of
hardware. At least until Vista ships with the complete driver set.

I have an Intel PRO on my motherboard and am using the XP driver for it on
my Vista
machine. It works just fine.

Was this in a Virtual PC environment?

Tom, there are *several* different flavors of Intel Fast and gigabit
Ethernet NICs. Most of the copper gigabit series (PRO/1000MT/GT/CT) are not
just supported by Vista (and have been since the 52xx builds), but have
drivers included with Vista itself. However, there are *exceptions* (mostly
toward the newer end of the NIC scale)
