IBM IntelliStation Z Pro - 100Mbps Ethernet adapters fail
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom :
IBM IntelliStation Z Pro 6899 systems may not communicate at 100Mbps with an IBM 100/10Mbps PCI Ethernet adapter or an Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B PCI Ethernet adapter. Other 100Mbps PCI Ethernet adapters may also fail to communicate at 100Mbps.
Problem Isolation Aids :
Both the IBM and Intel adapters communicate at the 10Mbps rate.
Adapter diagnostics run without errors and the Responder test will override the speed setting and test only 10Mbps.
With the adapter set to use the 100Mbps rate, the workstation will only be able to recognize itself on the network. No other network resources will be available. The workstation will also not be able to ping any other TCP/IP addresses on the network.
Setting the adapter for half or full duplex does not resolve the problem.
The Diagnostic/Setup diskette for the IBM 100/10 PCI Ethernet adapter is level 2.0 or lower.
Fix :
Updated device drivers for the IBM and Intel Ethernet adapters are being developed to allow 100Mbps support on the IBM IntelliStation Z Pro 6899 system.
Updated device drivers for the IBM 100/10 PCI Ethernet adapter may be obtained from the following Internet URL:

Updated device drivers for the Intel Pro100/B Ethernet adapter may be obtained from the following Internet URL:
