I should really say dev box, but it is a laptop, so it is not all that powerful.

I have a Dell D620 and have windows server 2008 r2 (win2k8) installed on it.

I ran into a couple things I would like to post about.

The main reason I have loaded this is to use hyper-v, I need to be able to run multiple virtual machines, some windows server 2003, some 2008, some 32 and 64 bit. Also, sometimes I need special flavors of SharePoint or SQL server to match a client implimentation.

I keep a vm of Windows 7 as well, which I use for Outlook and other things.

Each of my VM's has Visual studio, and my suite of tools, (found in another post).

Back to the Server, I mean dev box.

I did a clean install of Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 (wanted to use all 4GB of ram)

After things were finished, I noticed that hardware was all detected, except video, and I had no wireless connection.

Off to find the video drivers, but wait... no wireless connections.

In server OS's now, you have to enable the wireless "feature", then everything works.

So that others can find it, wireless network not found or no wireless networks shown in windows server 2008.

Enjoy.
