We have several Dells with BroadCom cards. We just disabled them and installed Intel ones instead, a lot less hassle and, taking into account the hassle of trying fixes with the broadcoms, a much cheaper way in the long run.

Well - we installed a Dell 2650 with a BroadCom card, and the vendor says some of the sporadic issues we are having are because of the Gigabit ethernet card... So I'd like to post my particulars, and see if anyone running this card has settings that vary from mine: Dell 2650 withBroadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet. UniVerse 10 - Win2K Server Upgraded the Broadcom driver from 7.40 to 7.43, now dated 3/29/04 (b57w2k.sys) Here are the Advanced Tab settings for the device: 802.1p QOS - Disable Checksum Offload - - Tx TCP/IP Checksum [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Enable Flow Control - Auto Jumpt MTU - 1500 Locally Administered Address - Not Present Speed and Duplex - 100 MB Full (was set to Auto - changed to 100/Full, no difference) Wake up Capability - Both WOL Speed - Auto Of course, this is really annoying because the vendor is saying 'we told you so' but we've heard from everyone there (including IBM!) that the issues are gone if the drivers are updated. WE don't know where the issue lies - it only appears in one section of the vendor's product - it's not pervasive or difficult to replicate - David W> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Leroy Dreyfuss Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 4:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [U2] UniVerse and 1GB Ethernet Cards... David, That statement would not be entirely true. U2 products are telnet-based and vendors of network adaptors do not thoroughly test their drivers with telnet. Very often, a simple driver upgrade or downgrade will suffice, that is if you are experiencing telnet problems. My IBM ThinkPad has a gigabit adaptor and both UV and UD telnet servers are working just fine. Broadcom I think has fixed issues with their drivers and adaptors, and some Intel drivers are OK too. If you are unsure about upgrading or downgrading the driver, you can simply set it to 100 Mbps full duplex and everything will be fine. Regards, LeRoy F.
