Windows 2003 Server & realtek 8139 - no Network

[wirsing]

:( Hi there I hope somebody can help me,

I just upgraded my Windows 2000 advanced server to windows 2003 (standard). Since the upgrade I am not able to use my Realtek 8139 Network Card does not comunicate anymore. The NIC is conected to a USR8000 cable/adsl router. I can not access or even ping the router anymore. (everything used to work fine before the upgrade)

The Windows 2003 firewall option is also disabled.

Before the upgrade I was using Black Ice Server protection (v3.6),

but I have removed Black Ice after upgrading to 2003 standard server.

I have also downloaded the latest realtek drivers (version 5.05) for Winows XP (also tried the w2k drivers) - but it still does not comunicate.

Does anybody have similar problems.

Thanks in advance for any help.

There was another post around here answering that. Look for it for specifics, but to paraphrase. Extract the INF drivers folder from an XP cd and throw it on your Server 2003 installation and then add the device and point the installer to the inf folder.

I have the same issue, but haven't tried the cure yet. Let me know how it goes.

mates, tis 'Windows Server 2003' now. Also, use Win2k drivers (or winxp if they have any new ones)

:D

Thanks everybody, I was able to fix the issue.

The Problem was not with the drivers of the Realtek 8139.

(I am using the Realtek XP driver version 5.05)

I just disabled the IPSEC service and rebooted the PC, as

suggested by one of the posts.

After the reboot I am now able to access the Internet and the

LAN.

Great stuff. Thanks again for your support
