Hi Amy,

   I typically use the e1000 with a Windows Server 2008 domain, using
the drivers shipped with the OS.  I don't have any problems with the MAC
or pinging the dom0 host or other local guests with this combination.  I
haven't done much testing using Server 2003 though.  Thanks,

        Alex
