After installing Server 2003 on my system, Server 2003 did not recognize my network card. This issue could have been fixed, but when it came time to install Office, Server 2003 produced error messages and could not proceed with the installation. This could be that I needed to install the latest Server 2003 installer software, but this is my main desktop system and a system without productivity software is not an option even if it’s for a day or two.

Plan B-Create a Server 2003 virtual machine. To create a virtual network will require more RAM, but the price of RAM continues to fall and it is a good time to make a purchase. I am not exactly ready to create a virtual network, but I will need to set one up eventually so I have collected a few resource sites. 

The following resource pages should get you up-to-speed and on your way to setting-up your own virtual network.

The Setting up Virtual Networks page includes links to four separate resources that will help you understand the concepts and to set-up a virtual network. The four pages listed on this page are:

• Creating a virtual network
• Accessing networks from a virtual machine
• Virtual network security        
• Using Microsoft Loopback Adapter

Although the Configuring a Virtual Network page is geared to VMware’s Workstation the page includes loads of information that would be beneficial to anyone setting-up a virtual network.
