Windows Server LAN Drivers Not Working

[aweltig]

Hello,

 

I just finished turning my old PC into a server for storage and I am trying to use it on my local network. However, the netword adapter says no drivers found and no matter what I try or install, it does not work. I temporarily have a USB wifi adapter plugged in but I want to wire this PC to my network. Any advice or help to install my drivers? For reference I am running Windows Server 2025 and I have a b360m d3h-cf mother board. Thanks

Welcome to the forums!
You can find the drivers here

I tried both of them with no luck.

What is the model of the network card on the board?

 

I'd find that model number and look up generic drives for that NIC and see if you can get it working.

 

This is a pretty common issue with running windows server on a board not made for it

 

One other option is to run a different hypervisor like Proxmox and run windows server in a VM.

Its an Intel Ethernet Connection I219-V. I tried installing the drivers from the Intel website with no luck. Should I just call it quits and buy a PCI network card?

Yes
It's an old board and could easily have a dead network chip.
