RE: First problem - Turn off Receive Side Scaling.

Bob Fronk From: Rishi Kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 28, 2007 11:21 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Cc: KC Carter Subject: 2 issues... Guys, I have two different issues: 1) I saw something very strange happen to 2 servers on our network. I went into the TCP/IP properties (this is a Windows 2003 domain), on a server, just to check the DNS entries...and while just VIEWING the configuration, I lost connection to the server and the server lost it's network connection. I had to reboot and then enable the NIC, as it was disabled when the machine restarted. This happened on 2 servers on two consecutive days. Has anyone seen something like this before? Is it possible that some sort of network observer program would do this? (I had heard of some people testing it) Or something I need to know about windows NIC settings? Update drivers? 2) We also had a SQL server go down, but in this case, it "fell" out of the domain. IT was no longer listed when looking for it in ADUC. After re-adding the server to the domain, all SQL replication worked fine again, but has anyone seen that before? What would cause this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
