VS 2005 R2 installation cannot see physical NIC

Message:

I have installed Virtual Server 2005 R2 in a Windows XP, SP2 box. The
VS installs and functions, but the physical NIC card is invisible to
the VS. A message in the Administration Web Server indicates: "There
are no virtual network adapters connected to this virtual network."
My work demands that the VS be accessible across a network. I have
reinstalled the software several times following instructions I found
in news groups:
I have tried everything:
1. Uninstall VS
2. Reboot
3. Re-install VS
4. Reboot
5. Uninstall Virtual Machine Network Services and reinstall it from
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual server\Drivers\

All attempts were without avail.

The Master Status Screen of the Virtual server Administration website
shows the following:
Virtual Server 2005 R2 Master Status Screen
paris Recent Events

Type Date/Time Category Message

3:35:13 PM Virtual Server Virtual Server could not open its emulated
Ethernet switch driver. To fix this problem, re-enable the Virtual
Server Emulated Ethernet Switch service on one or more Ethernet
adapters or reinstall Virtual Server.

When I open "New Virtual Network" Network Properties in the VS
Administration Website, I cannot see the Network adapter on physical
computer. Obviously the physical NIC is invisible to VS.

I am running Windows XP on a Dell 490 with a 3.75 Mz processors, 4 GB
of memory, and 300 MB disks. I have only one NIC with Broadcom
NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller.(Could this controller that I
understand is quite new not be supported by VS?)

I am total frustrated with this installation. Any help will be
appreciated

Hi Jav,

Go to the NIC's properties on your host. Make sure the Virtual Machine
Network service is checked.

Great point Niels, you are right. I can offer 1 additional tidbit, I am here
now using a Broadcom GB NIC for my personal Virtual, so I am pretty sure it
isn't the NIC driver.

Hi Geoff,

Well if the check is there and you still cannot select it from the drop down
loist, you will need to create a logical connection for VS.
In the administration page, just create a new virtual network, give it a
name and connect it to your Broadcom.
However odd it is that it didn't creat it at installation it should work, I
think all my servers and workstations have Broadcom NIC or Intel.
regards,

Niels

This particular nic (Broadcom NetXtreme II GigE (BCM5708C)) is giving me the
same issues with VS 2005 (not R2).

It's also giving me problems with ISA server - I cannot use either VS or ISA
on a box with these nics. Just starting to research it now.
