I do not have any real info. I had been asked to try and reproduce some unit hangs (maybe for this) recently and did not succeed in producing them on the parts I have. Reading through the thread I see this is showing up in a NAT environment. The port that is getting the unit hang in the NAT system? I will make some attempts at replicating this with the port in a NAT and or forwarding role. Has a bug been opened for this? Or has information for this specific unit hang been entered into one of the other unit hang bugs opened against e1000e? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
