I'm honestly not sure whether they've tested it with Windows Server 2003 or not - but it certainly seems to work fine in 5342.

If you have a datafax modem in your PC, thats what you will use to fac if you are not on a network. If you are on a network, connected to a Windows Server domain, the Windows Server is setup with fax services installed from the Windows Components by your Administrator, then you would use Network Fax Server.

Why would I want to supply 100 users with a modem in each machine? Why not control faxes from a central location? Again, my question is has anyone gotten netowrk faxing working using build 5308 (or any build for that matter) and what steps did you take to accomplish this goal. > If you have a datafax modem in your PC, thats what you will use to fac if > you are not on a network.

As long as you set up your Fax Server on Windows Server 2003/2003 R2 properly for it to work with Windows XP clients, it should work exactly the same with Vista. Can you nail it down to anything specific?

As far as I know, it should be working in most scenarios. Zack is correct: if you can connect a Windows XP client to your fax server, you should be able to connect your Windows Vista client to the server. I suspect the problem is on the server setup side.
