Hi Marina
Thanks for that email. I am sure your advice is 100% correct here. After
approximately 8 hours, the server logon screen has now appeared and I can
type in the password etc. However, if I look at device manager (admittedly,
I must have missed this the first time around and didnt check device manager
as such, only allowed the system to install all the new device drivers,
being new hardware), the current and new NIC is listed as "Intel.... Network
Connection #2".
I suspect thus that the system still thinks there is another network
connection somewhere, and has all the bindings messed up. Since the old NIC
is not in this test server, the control panel is not now showing Network
connection #1. How can I find this hidden device, remove it and fix all the
bindings?
Any advice much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Andrew
