Severe connection problem

Who's the card manufacturer? I'm not buying that you cannot run Windows 2000 on it. It's the release right after NT 4.0 so it works somehow. Try deleting the card from the device manager (uninstall it) reboot and let Windows auto-detect a new updated driver for it.

Had already tried that, for the formality I tried again; no go :(( I am considering trying XP for interest sake, though probably the supplied driver is the same... Don't really know what else to do as NT4 isn't really an option (possibly at a push) but as you say, I agree, I also refuse to believe it won't work. It's a Compaq Netelligent 10/100TX PCI Embedded UTP controller (one of those with AUI port).

If that's a bundled server that came from Compaq then if you went to the Compaq site (now hp.com) you would find the right drivers just by typing in the name of the server in the Software Download section. If you can't then I'm betting if you Google "Compaq Netelligent 10/100 PCI UTP Windows 2000" you'd get good hits.

I had indeed already looked at hp.com (and google) (same link as you gave). The driver they had corresponded (nearly - build incremented from 18 to 22) with the one I got off the SmartStart cd for servers which is the newest version applicable to the 1200 series. Version 5.0.1.22C now installed. No difference.
