Check to make sure the links are all full-duplex. We started seeing bad performance with the em(4) driver on our HP Proliant 360DL G5's using 1000Mbits. It turned out that switch was setting it's port to half-duplex and the emX interface was following suit. HTH, Patrick joe wrote: On

Looks like something to do with system C, you might isolate it, and try a back to back connection with its NICs, change cables, look at BIOS settings, change the slot the nic is in... All just off the top of my head. Jack On Sat, May 8, 2010 at 9:41 AM, joe j...@hostedcontent.com wrote: On

I still am not clear on this system, how many ports are on it, and its an 82576? Sounds to me like you've proven its not on the box if you can do fine when its on its own. So change ports in the switch, as I said, change cables, must be something in that environment. Jack On Sat, May 8, 2010 at
