Invalid address on DL380 G3 with NC7781
I loaded the nc7781 firmware update (2.35), am using the Windows 2003 driver version 7.103.0.0, and for bootworks (DOS) I am using the Compaq Gigabit Ethernet DOS NDIS2 Ver 3.07 . It is not teamed, non-DHCP address (I assigned it), running at 100MBps with full Duplex connected to a Cisco 2950.
When the server boots into production after an imaging event, the NICS often report "Invalid Address" (with red question marks over the NIC icons, IPCONFIG reports 0.0.0.0 as an address) until I do a manual reboot.
What conditions will trigger "Invalid Address" error? Does the error mean invalid MAC address, or, invalid IP address? Anyone have ideas how to prevent this from occuring?

Re: Invalid address on DL380 G3 with NC7781
This is a popular server. There must be other people running Win2003. Granted, I'm try to do load balancing - but the problem occurs even if I disable the NLB NIC.
Any ideas?

Re: Invalid address on DL380 G3 with NC7781
I tried deleting the NC7781's from the device manager and redetecting them. I tried to completly remove NLCB. I tried using a mini 8-port switch instead of a Cisco 2950. And I tried HP's update: CP004977. I tried all the links suggested in this thread. None of this improved the situation.
Any more ideas?
