Hello all,

I encounter a problem that i can't resolve : i've installed windows server 2012 on a proxmox machine (with some difficulties for the network adapter).
For the network adapter, i've choose to use virtio win (windows driver and other driver that i found on the net doesn't worked).

Some bugs appears with the driver (i needed to reboot to get a functionnal vm) , so i've tried to change and test the differents ethernet card that proxmox can offers to me :
- Realtec RTL8139
- VirtIO (paravitualized)
- Intel E1000

I choose finally to install the Intel E1000 ethernet card on my vm because it was the most stable between the other ethernet card.

But :
To have a functionnal machine, when i start my vm, i must disable and enable a network card (which i want) on the vm :
if i don't do that, my network can't be functionnal (no internet connection for clients) !

I also noted when a backup (snapshot mode) is done on my vm, (sometimes not always) my vm crash (blue screen), and it's always the same problem :

So i decided to install the latest driver for virtio win that i can found (http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/WindowsGuestDrivers/Download_Drivers) but when i choose to install the new driver, windows is saying that my driver is up to date and functionnal (but i really think not).
I think also to try to uninstall the driver and re-install it but i can't do that for the moment (i can do this a weekend for example).

I also output my pveversion for my problem that can maybe help you (i know that's not the latest version of proxmox but i can't also upgrade proxmox for the moment) :

I really think my problem is coming from my network card but if you've got some tips about windows server 2012 and network card (ethernet card to choose from proxmox), it would be welcome !
Your experience would be very appreciated ! A big thanks for any help in advance !
 
never tested win2012 on such an outdated version, but e1000 for network works always without any additionally driver.
