ESX Server 3.5 on Dell Precision 390

Dear All,

I am trying to install the evaluation version of ESX Server 3.5 on my Dell Precsion 390, but its not happening. Its shows an error related to the Network Card (Broadcom Netxtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller). I tried different drivers too. The NIC is supported as per the HCL for ESX Server.

Does Dell Precision 390 supports VMWare? I have checked HCL list from the website but in it only Server Hardwares are mention. Mine is a Workstation.

Is there any solution to intstall ESX Server on my system? Please help.

What sort of error are yougetting? If your local storage is working fine, then you might want to try another NIC. I use Intel Pro 1000 GTs when I have a problem in a non supported model and ESXi.
