Re: Event ID's 1122 and 1123



These errors are usually causes by NIC drivers or faulty network components
(swtich, NIC, etc). Make sure that all NICs are updated with the
latest/greatest drivers...especially if your using Broadcom NICs.

Additional advice can be found in the following KB article:
