For a regular ethernet card, you need SIMATIC SOFTNET S7 IE.
Choose 6GK1704-1CW08-1AA0 for Windows 7 32/64-bit.

(notice: There is a less expensive "LEAN" version of SIMATIC SOFTNET S7 IE, but it only supports 8 connections, so avoid that one).

Thanks Jesper, going to take a look on that.

Hey Mark, i have used Simatic OPC on some other applications like this
but in those cases i used a existing Simatic server,
and the customer wanna use what they are familiar with.

Ason,

Do you already have the OPC server from Siemens?

If not, you may want to consider Kepware's KepserverEX:

The manual for the Siemens server suite can be found through the following link:

From this same link, you can download the software.
