Network Agent cannot be installed. No network cards suitable for network agent communication have been detected

I have a difficult problem. I purchased a small HP server (ML110 G7) to be used as a remote filtering server at a branch location. I have several older servers like this in place already, and on them I only install the Network agent and the filtering service, and point them back to the main policy server for updates and reporting. I am currently  using Websense Web Security 7.5.1 on all windows 2003 Server machines. This new HP ML110 server does not come with Windows 2003 Server drivers, only Windows Server 2008 drivers. I can set the BIOS to legacy mode and load Windows Server 2003 on it however and it loads just fine. The problem comes when I try to install Websense services, the network agent and the filtering service. The install process stops at the configuration phase with a "Network Card Error" The error message says: "Network Agent cannot be installed. No network cards suitable for network agent communication have been detected. How do you want to proceed?" The server came with 2 HP NC112i Network cards in it. I thought maybe they were the problem so I purchased a Broadcom BCM 5751Gb Network card and installed it and disabled the HP cards. The same thing happens with the Broadcom card. Anyone have any ideas how I can get Websense 7.5.1 to install on Windows Server 2003 on a HP ML110 G7 server with a Broadcom 5751Gb NIC?

Websense Web Security 7.5.1 won't install on Windows Server 2008, so that's not an option. I can't upgrade to a newer version of Websense which requires Windows 2008 since I have Windows Server 2003 OS everywhere else; in about 12 locations. The older hardware won't support the newer Windows Server 2008 OS and I can't upgrade all the hardware at this point. 

Thanks.
