I have installed the OS server 2003 on a workstation. I installed the driver for the nic from the Dell site and then I configured the TCP/IP Settings in the properties of my network connection. I am still unable to get onto the internet? I tried to use the CMD to ping and the CMD is not running the commands not even ipconfig or even ping www.google.com or any devices?

what do you mean cmd is not running commands like ipconfig? have you setup dns correctly? have you try tracert to some known destination?With kind regards Krystian Zieja http://www.projectnenvision.com Follow me on twitter My Blog

Sounds like a wrong DNS configuration. Please post IPCONFIG/ALL result from your 2003 server.
