http://www.ISAserver.org ------------------------------------------------------- Hi Rick, No it is a single connection card. As you said nic just disconnects itself and comes back. This cause firewall service to restart and the uptime on firewall service goes down to zero. But if I right click on nic and choose status, that time shows the server uptime since last reboot. It might have nothing to do with VPN connection but that it happens mostly when VPN connections are initiated. As you mentioned it might be just a good idea to change nics. I am going to switch between the nic used for internal and external and see if it makes any help. Thanks again -----Original Message----- From: isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of rick Sent: Saturday, September 30, 2006 4:40 AM To: isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isalist] FW: Intel adapter and dell power edge http://www.ISAserver.org ------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: rick On Behalf Of NTNS Sent: 30 September 2006 01:03 To: 'isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: [isalist] Intel adapter and dell power edge Hi, It's not ISA causing the problem it's the Intel card, is it a dual card? I have 3 customers with the same problem all on dell servers. The nic seems to temporarily disconnect itself and the immediately re connects it's a pain in the "!!?>>< Updating the drivers does not solve the problem! And it is only one of the nic channels that drops the connection. I solved the problem by removing the Intel dual nic card and replaced it with 2 separate nic cards. Seems to be a problem that neither Dell or Intel admit too. Best regards.

The problem I have with it when sometimes we try to issue a vpn connection, it causes the firewall service crash. Of course it goes through the reset process and comes back alive but cause a delay on service. Checking on event log didn't find anything interesting. But in email notifications I get this. ISA Server detected that IP address 192.168.1.254 was removed from network "External". I did some search online and others are suggesting updating the nic driver. That one didn't help either and this happens again. It is intel pro 100 S which dell driver is here ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/isalist/ ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server Articles and Tutorials: http://www.isaserver.org/articles_tutorials/ ISA Server Blogs: http://blogs.isaserver.org/ ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe visit http://www.isaserver.org/pages/isalist.asp Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/isalist/ ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server Articles and Tutorials: http://www.isaserver.org/articles_tutorials/ ISA Server Blogs: http://blogs.isaserver.org/ ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe visit http://www.isaserver.org/pages/isalist.asp Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/isalist/ ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server Articles and Tutorials: http://www.isaserver.org/articles_tutorials/ ISA Server Blogs: http://blogs.isaserver.org/ ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe visit http://www.isaserver.org/pages/isalist.asp Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
