Hi all,

Recently I have installed a ubuntu server to use as a virtual host. I need to
install two Windows 2003 R2 SP2 guests on it, and I would like to use virtio drivers for networking but I see that these drivers only exists for Windows XP and Windows 2000, is it correct?? can I use it for Windows 2003?

Many thanks.

I have been using the XP driver in a 2003 VM and it works correctly, and IIRC Dor and Avi have said that XP drivers work in 2003.

I just confirm that the XP driver virtio drivers works also here on win 2003 without any issues. (we run several win2003 with exchange in production).
