Ethernet Card : Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100]
This adaptor is designed as a SERVER adaptor and not intended to be used on a workstation. Go to the Intel web site and download their Boot Agent and LAN manager configuration software. Or simpler yet put a standard ethernet NIC in and place the Expensive Pro100 Server Adaptor in safe and secure place to use in a REAL server later on. This adaptor is configured by default to be connected at all times on a server that is always on. I hope this helps. Good luck.
