help the physiscal nic is working fine, just not on the virtual side

Message: It makes a difference because the "NIC" in the virtual machine actually
uses the driver for the NIC in the host machine. The driver may be able to
handle traffic for the "real" machine perfectly but not be able to handle
traffic for the virtual machine.
Using a different NIC card might solve the problem. Using an updated
driver for the current NIC might help. Just reinstalling Virtual Server with
the NIC in the host machine active might fix it. It is just a matter of
getting the driver for the physical NIC to work correctly with VMNS.
