More Information

Bought a retail gateway to use as a small, temporary server for our company. Installed Server 2003 Enterprise on it, but the network driver won't load. I have tried every driver that I could find as far as from gateway, nvidia, broadcom and generics. Has anyone else has this problem. The thing just won't accept drivers. Thanks

Assuming you're running 32-bit 2003, did you try the following (or similar) nForce drivers?

The 64-bit drivers are here:

(I'm just guessing that you have an nForce 6100/410 board -- you should select the appropriate combination of nVidia chipset and OS. Perhaps SiS Sandra or some other utility could tell you the underlying HW details.)

I'm running 2003 x64 on a 6150/430 board with the version 8.26 XP-64 drivers and it's fine.

Update

I tried those drivers and they did not fix my integrated ethernet problem. Those chipset drivers fixed everything except the ethernet. I ended up going and buying a PCI ethernet card, plug and play, and it was good to go. Did this on three servers. I have a feeling that it will never work, but I guess that's what happens when you put an OS that isn't supported on a PC.
