Oh, no. To a 16-port Asante switch I got on eBay for fifty bucks. And I have a pretty nice Belkin KVM that I also got a pretty good deal on from eBay.

Smith Sent: Monday, September 27, 2004 7:23 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Server disabling its own NIC I've actually got two dl/320's that do exactly that (well, not work - I've not gotten a blue-screen from it). I've written a script to disable and enable the interfaces 10 minutes after bootup. The pipelining issue can happen on DL's as well. I install that registry change on all my servers now - I've experienced it on DL/320's, DL/360's, and DL/380's; as well as Dell servers - but only when I create an SMTP connector to another Exchange server. Weirdness. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martin Blackstone Sent: Monday, September 27, 2004 7:14 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Server disabling its own NIC I love the stuff I read about Dells.

The place I worked at had 40 2650's running exchange and 30% of the time when one was rebooted the NIC failed to work on boot up, and about 7% of the time the NIC would stop functioning on a server out of the blue. I no longer work with that company (thank god) and my current company uses HP Proliants so I don't know if Dell ever fixed it. They also had a problem with the broadcom drivers that they did fix, the older versions caused exchange 2000 to have SMTP problems due to using pipelining, a driver update was supposed to fix this (I quit immediately after updating the drivers so I don't know if it actually fixed it).
