Wow. Finally got this fixed and is it a doozy. Turns out that Windows 2003 SP2 has some code it in that enables(?)/changes(?)/breaks some of the higher-end features (like TCP Offloading and RSS) in the Broadcom GBit controller that, among other machines, is onboard for Dell 29XX series servers. Directions to fix it are here using two registry tweaks are here http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=78606&start=30&tstart=0 Uninstalling SP2 apparently works, as does a routing trick, but disabling the features in the card seemed the best choice to me and worked on the first try. -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72&catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:288393 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
