So I am setting up a home server with windows home server 11. During the installation I keep getting a driver issue with the Ethernet, I have the Ethernet cable plugged. I have put the motherboard driver cd in and managed to install every other driver except for the "Ethernet controller" when I try to installer the driver off the cd I get "windows could not find drier software for your device" I have a ASUS H871-plus motherboard?

If someone knows a fix to this it would be appreciated! Thanks :)

By consumer level OS, I mean Windows XP/Vista/7/8. Sometimes a driver from one of these versions of Windows will work for Windows Home Server. You need to find out which one. Of course, there's only four, so you could try them all and see if any work. Just remember. If WHS is 64-bit, you'll want to download the 64-bit driver for those operating systems.

P.S. Sorry it took so long to reply back. I initially answered your question and then went to work.
