Hi Ray, No, I haven't done major HP updating, only the network card drivers. I tend to work on the basis of 'if its working, don't fix it', but of course this principle fails in this case as the server isn't working as it should. I'll consider the HP update along with any other ideas, unless folk think this should be done now.

No, exceeding the license count is only supposed to generate log entries. I've never heard otherwise. The ML370-G3 is about three years old, isn't it? Have you tried running one of HP's firmware update CD's on it?
