Hardware checksum offloading is when the card calculates the checksum of the outgoing packets in hardware rather than letting the OS do it. It can give better performance than software (depending on configuration) but some cards do the checksums improperly, which can lead to poor performance since bad packets are dropped. On Solaris you can try the program here: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=31058&tstart=150 to see if it's enabled; on Linux run "ethtool -k <ifname>", or "netstat -ant" on Windows. scp is secure copy; it transfers files from one machine to another over an ssh tunnel. It may be processor-bound, especially since its encryption is single-threaded, but it's a good thing to compare to when CIFS is misbehaving. It's included with Linux and Solaris, and you can try WinSCP on Windows. That said, if it's working with the replacement card I wouldn't worry about it too much ;) > So far thanks for the responses so far, hopefully my Intel network card > solved my problems =) You're welcome, and I hope it keeps working for you.
