Windows 2003 Server & realtek 8139 - no Network


Recommended Posts

:( 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.

: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

    • Will it be DRM free and launcher free = no! So I will ahoy it!
    • I don't even care if it was deliberate, well played Microsoft 😂
    • That was a poke at Apple. Unless the Vista wav file is still in Windows 11, it could not be a bug. It was deliberate and funny.
    • Lol I heard this last night and I about fell out of my chair. I rebooted again just to be sure I wasn't hearing things.
    • Microsoft accidentally replaced Windows 11 startup sound with one from Vista by Taras Buria The recently released Windows 11 Dev and Beta builds introduced some welcome changes and improvements. However, those preview builds are not flawless and have a pretty long list of known issues. One of those issues, though, is a rather delightful one: Windows 11's default startup jingle has been accidentally replaced with one from 2006. After Windows Insiders discovered that Windows 11 now plays the Windows Vista startup sound and reported it to Microsoft, the company acknowledged it and added it to the list of known bugs in the latest Windows 11 Dev and Beta builds: This week’s flight comes with a delightful blast from the past and will play the Windows Vista boot sound instead of the Windows 11 boot sound. We’re working on a fix. Although Windows Vista is nearly two decades old, it was brought to everyone's attention this week after Apple introduced macOS 26 Tahoe with its controversial "Liquid Glass" redesign, which many consider a rather miserable remix of Windows Aero from Windows Vista and Windows 7. While it is definitely an interesting coincidence, Microsoft did not intentionally replace the startup sound in Windows 11 preview builds. Brandon LeBlanc from the Windows Insider team confirmed in his X that that is a bug after joking about everyone talking about Windows Vista once again in light of Apple's latest announcements: It is worth noting that if you miss the startup sound of Windows Vista, you can still use it in modern Windows versions. All it takes is the original WAV file and a few clicks in the Windows Registry and Sound settings. And for those who want a shot of nostalgia, here is the sound of Windows Vista startup: What startup jingle do you like more: Windows Vista or Windows 11? Share your thoughts in the comments.
