IBM PC300XL - Decreased network performance using 100mbs Ethernet
Applicable to: AP-N, AP-S, Canada, LA, United States
SYMPTOM:
When using the integrated 10/100 Ethernet adapter at a rate of 100mbs, the system may return various networking error messages, or exhibit increased packet loss during transfers.
PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
This tip applies to the IBM PC300XL Series 6588 systems, and the IBM IntelliStation M-Pro Series 6888 systems equipped with an integrated Intel 10/100 PCI Wake-On-Lan Ethernet adapter.
The error, or performance condition is only seen when using the integrated Ethernet adapter. OEM ISA/PCI Ethernet network adapters are not affected.
The error, or performance condition may be exhibited under various operating systems, and may be limited to networking cable lengths equal to, or exceeding 50 meters (150 feet).
FIX:
Before replacing hardware, proceed with normal problem determination to eliminate possible software configuration, network cabling, or network equipment errors.
If error messages, or network performance conditions persist (i.e. increased packet loss during transfers), Servicers should contact the IBM HelpCenter via
1-800-IBM-PROD for further assistance.
