it says
"OS Support: Windows 2000, XP and Vista 32-bit only "

No mention of 2003 server. What drivers did you try loading?

I tried the drivers from original CD and also the downloaded driver s/w happened to be the same one as that of the CD.
Could you please tell me which drivers should I use?
Will Server 2003 not support USB adapters for networking?
Please do clarify me.

the manufacturer has to supply the drivers and support. It would appear this device was only made for those OS's not 2003.

When you shop for a device make sure to look at the product specs and that it supports the OS you are running.

Put 2003 server usb wireless and see what comes up

Well...,
I got the point. The device is not supposed to be compatible with the server 2003.Will b more cautious while buying devices next time. Well, still, I am trying to find whether there are drivers that will make the device compatible with the Server 2003 or usb network adapter that are compatible with the Win Serv 2003 OS.
Thanks for the suggestions.
