    For XP you mean? You should be able to download it from their site.

    No. I tried XP driver on 2003 but it didn't work. I am looking for a driver for 2003. Do you have any idea to make wireless work on 2003? Thanks.

    Did you check intel's site? Do a google for the model number plus driver.

    I have and i didn't find anything for 2003 server. What in the world Intel thought that people won't need wireless connection on 2003 server. Unbelievable... I am at a point where I am about to give up now. Damn Intel...

    Why would anyone need WiFi on 2003 Server?

    A Server first of all isn't supposed to run on a laptop, and second, for a server to be reliable it needs a reliable connection.

    Why not. have driver available, and let the users make that decision whether to use it or not. My notebook is used as my development environment for writing .net applications. I need to run 2003 for overall application/system testing. For those to think that server should be only run on production environment probably have never dealt on writing enterprise level applications. Then you would understand why i need to run server for my needs.

    if u really get jammed up, you could dual boot unless you have to run some type of versioning for your development that won't run on xp (rational?).

    you could also avoid having all those services hogging your resources when you're using your maching for non-dev stuff (assuming you use it for non-dev stuff)
