Help with Virtual Machine Network Services

I am having great difficulties getting Virtual Server to link to my physical
network adapters. I have read several prior posts/fixes, and none of them
have worked. Below is what I have tried:

- Uncheck/Recheck Virtual Machine network Services on my ethernet adapter
- Uninstalled/Reinstalled Virtual Server 2005 R2
- Uninstalled Virtual Server 2005 R2 + all config files and registry
entries, then reinstalled fresh after a reboot

I still get the error of "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." and am unable to see my physical network adapter
in Virtual Server.

Some additional background info.... I previously had Virtual PC 2004
installed, followed by VPC 2004 SP1, which has all been uninstalled prior to
troubleshooting this issue.

Any Ideas?

What are the NICs? How many? Host OS?

Update the NIC drivers? Disable NIC teaming, offloading, etc.

More details are better.

Dell Laptop with 2 NICs (no teaming) running windows xp pro

Dell Truemobile 1450 wireless NIC - latest drivers installed
Broadcom 570 Gigabit NIC - latest drivers installed

They worked ok with Virtual PC, I have only had this problem since I started
using Virtual Server.

Thanks
