Re: Very Rare Problem with an ISA Installation

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi,
HP NIC Teaming works well with ProLiant Support Pack 7.30. But some team
types (for example SLB) in HP NIC Teaming drivers from ProLiant Support Pack
(PSP) 7.30 works little bit different than with drivers from PSP 7.10. Try
another team type or verify switch configuration. Some team types which
works well in 7.10 now requires appropriate swich support (trunks, 802.3ad).
Withou it you can have problem with lost packets and timeouts (connection to
team from LAN) or lost packets and connectivity (connection to team from
WAN). Then simply try ping -t or pathping to verify it.

ISA Server 2004 on Windows Server 2003 SP1 with PSP 7.30 (NIC NC7781,
NC7170) works well.
