Windows 2003 Server driver for Broadcom 440x

Hello!

I need for testing install Windows Server 2003 on my Dell Inspirion 8600 Notebook. I have a Broadcom 440x 10/100 integrated Controller and can find a driver for it. The Windows XP drivers did not work. Can someone tell me where to find it, which driver will work?

Thanks a lot!

kind regards

    MobyPlay,

    Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

    If this is a third-party software program, you should seek drivers from the vendor of the program.  You may also be able to find drivers for this on the Broadcom site.

    Hello!

    I look on all sites and forum but can find the driver. A distributor from Broadcom told me, that they dont have the driver yet and dont will have the driver in the future. So, I have a big Problem! I have a notebook thats 4 weeks old and cant install windows 2003 server on it. We need that for testing our software and for presenting the software to the customer. Please help!

    kind regards

    This has been a reoccuring issue with Dell notebooks and win2k3.

    You may be able to force the XP driver to install, which should work okay.

    The XP driver works just fine. But you can't just run the install program to install it. You have to do it manually.

    If you've already tried to run the install the necessary files will be in "C:\Dell\Drivers\R61603\drivers\WinXP\v3.60"

    Go to 'Control Panel / System' , and click on the Hardware Tab. Next, click on Device Manager. Your NIC should show up with a yellow exclamation mark. Right Click on the NIC and select 'Update Driver'. Choose "Install from a list or specific location" and then check "Include this location in the search", and navigate to the folder mentioned above. Install from here and it will work just fine.
