In the process of making my desktop into the SERVER. I have install the Windows server 2008 on my PC containing Intel I3 processor with the Desktop Board Dh61ww. All the things going well and good.  After finishing the installation of the OS I found that the LAN driver not yet configured automatically. I download the Prowin32.exe driver files from the Intel Download Center which is also not working with that OS. I got the Error message that the installation files didn’t support for this operating system. I have searched the internet for the drivers. Which will not take any of the effect to install the drivers. Finally I found the very simple way to install the driver files for the LAN on Windows Server 2008 manually.
