DL380 G3 and NC7781

[andy proctor_1]

i have 4 dl380's all with the same and latest firmware/driver installations.
the two onboard nics are teamed.
out of the 4 two are reporting poor responses from ping results.
has anyone come across similar? are we looking at a bad batch from HP?
any help/advice appreciated
thanks
andy

Andy.
Have you tried swapping your network cables from the 2 poor connections with known good connections? What's your port speed on your switch? Make sure all your nics are hard coded to the same speed (ie 100/F instead of auto/auto) as your switch.

Check connection to switch ,is it connected 100Mbit Full Duplex ?

thanks for the replies but i've now found the answer - unbeliveably the mac address on the teamed nics were the same on both boxes!
