topic NIC fails in ProLiant Servers (ML,DL,SL) https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/nic-fails/m-p/2817884#M12473 We installed two DL360 G2 with NetWare 6. The servers were connected to a hub during installation and worked fine. <BR />When we connect the DL360's to a switch, the NIC fails on both servers after a few packages. Going back to a hub and everything works fine again. <BR />Tested scenarios: <BR />- Drivers from Support pack 5.2, 5.4 and 5.50a <BR />- Installed third party NIC from 3Com <BR />- Setting both sides to 100FD, 100HD, Autosense <BR />- Used different brands of switches <BR /> <BR />The problem remains <BR /> <BR />Any ideas?

This it not the same addresses reported in the BIOS setup, so the hardware address must be overwritten during startup and before the OS boots. <BR /> <BR />Any ideas where to find this settings? Can the settings off the NetXtreme Boot Agent be changed and how? <BR /> <BR />Any hints are appreciated.
