Paravirtualized Network Drivers for Windows don't work on Windows 2003r2 64
After installation have this problem. ("Can't load driver for this device" in properties). Driver from XP/amd64 folder of Virtio-win-0.1-49 and Virtio-win-0.1-74 iso - anyway same result.

yes, newer version does not work. either go for an older version, or just keep IDE, working without any further drivers and also not slow.

Virtio-win-0.1-49 works fine for me.

 

[m.ardito]

just keep IDE.

never heard of IDE network drivers... :-D

I use intel 1000 (from intel, not included in windows) for w2003...

I use virtio 0.1-49 on 7 W2K3 64-bit machines and they have excellent performance.. ( any version higher causes BSOD )
