Assigning VLAN to NIC card

Here is my scenario - I have recently installed a VoIP telephone system and have a few issues with voice quality. Because I do not have Layer 3 switches yet, I can not prioritize traffice based on TOS/DiffServ. I have setup the PBX to be in a seperate VLAN, and works great. However, I have an external server that needs access to the PBX. I have configured my switch (DLink DES-1226) with two VLAN's. Default (VID 1) on ports 1-20, and PBX (VID 2)on ports 1-24. Ports 21-24 are ports that connect only to the PBX and the external server in question. The first 20 ports connect to my IP phones which the users PC's connect to off the built-in switch, therefore need to be in both VLAN's. As stated the IP phones work great and the PC's connected behind the phones work. The only problem is this server that only needs to be in VLAN 2 - connected to port 22. It can not ping the PBX or connect in any way. If I go to the advanced options of the NIC (Marvell Yukon 32) I have an option to turn on 802.1p, but no option to set the VLAN ID. Either way this does not have any effect on the connectivity. Also 802.1p is NOT 802.1q tagging unless I am mistaken. The manufacturer says that this NIC will support up to 64 VLAN's (802.1q), but am lost as to where to configure this. I have read manual after manual on this and similar NIC's that use the same chipset by 3com and the like, but no answers!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I use an Intel pro/1000 MT NIC and Have 4 separate VLANs installed (so far). I just had to make sure I had the latest drivers from the Intel site.
