Turn yours on and let us know how it works our for you :)
I will netsh turn mine on Monday, I have a DC that can freak out that won't impact anyone. ________________________________________ From: Christopher Bodnar [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 4:39 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Server 2008 and TCP Chimney Same with my server. I’m guessing that for it to function it has to be enabled both in the OS and on the NIC. But how can you verify that?

This was not an upgraded server, it was a bare bones fdisk.

I just checked my OS and it’s off by default: C:\Users\admin>netsh int tcp show global Querying active state... TCP Global Parameters ---------------------------------------------- Receive-Side Scaling State : enabled Chimney Offload State : disabled Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level : normal Add-On Congestion Control Provider : ctcp ECN Capability : disabled RFC 1323 Timestamps : disabled Chris Bodnar, MCSE Sr. Systems Engineer Distributed Systems Service Delivery - Intel Services Guardian Life Insurance Company of America Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Phone: 610-807-6459 Fax: 610-807-6003 ________________________________ From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 2:38 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Server 2008 and TCP Chimney Gotta be off by default, otherwise I would know. That one hit my DC’s hard on 2003. Or maybe it actually works in 2008. Checking now…….I’ll be danged, it is enabled by default and not blowing up. From: Miller Bonnie L. [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 2:30 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Server 2008 and TCP Chimney Anyone know if the TCP Chimney/RSS/etc issues that affected WS03 with SP2 or the SNP on SP1 are a problem on Server 2008? This talks about changing it, but not what the default status is: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951037 I have a few WS08 servers, but am just now installing the first one that might be affected by this issue (Dell 2950). Wasn’t sure if this is off by default in ’08, is not an issue, or what, and I’m not to the point yet to be able to look at it.
