Environment : Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 I bought made-by-order PC to make my own development server and install Windows 2008 Server R2 x64 operating system. But I found that there is a problem to let this O/S to know LAN on-board. So, I tried with many other LAN card or Wireless LAN. Still there is no driver that matches and works well with the O/S. Finally I found in Thailand market that there is a LAN card for server model. It's " Intel ®   PRO /1000   PT   Server Adapter " use with PCI Express (PCIe) slot. The price is 5 times more expensive than the normal LAN card but it solve my problem. Other card that may be able to use with this O/S is D-Link DGE-530T but I couldn't find it to test. Good luck for the one that get frustrate about this issue.
