    Hi ,

    are you trying to use the vista drivers with windows 2008 ?

    You have to contact the vendor of the wireless adapter / provider , because the drivers are written by the vendor and they would specify if the driver is used for windows vista or windows 2003.

    Try browsing for relevant Operating system driver.

        Even when you find a driver, wireless networking is disabled by default in Server 2008.

    Thank you very much for the report, did not have that feature enabled and that is why I am not acknowledged any connection, now everything is going smoothly.
