Windows Server 2003.

Reason I'm trying to install it is to configure a box to run SQL
Server 2005 on as a one-man development environment.

Probably should just install SQL's Developer version on an XP
box, but I've got the MSDN discs so I figured "Why not go all the
way?"

I can get it installed OK, but when I try to add the drivers for
the network card the card's install program runs without
abending, and the driver is there, but it says the device cannot
be started.

Bottom line, am I looking for special Windows Server
2003-specific drivers? Or should it work with plain old XP
drivers?

Unless it's really old hardware I'd expect it to work with native drivers
from the Windows installation media. You can buy a new one for $15 or so.
