Applicable to: World-Wide

Abstract :
Networking errors W/HP J2585A PCI 10/100 Adapter

Symptom :
Customers may experience a variety of problems including not being able to use the network adapter card at all, or experience other LAN SERVER networking errors.

Problem Isolation Aids :
Affected configurations:
1. The HP 2585A PCI 10/100 Ethernet Adapter is installed.

2. Any system capable of running multiple processors, such as Server 720, 520, and 320, running in Multi-processor mode.

3. The Operating system is OS/2 version 2.11 SMP (Symmetrical Multi-Processing) and LAN SERVER 4.0.

Fix :
The current device driver HPFEND.OS2, dated 4/95 was tested and found unable to support multi-processor mode. Device drivers released later than this date, may include updates to support MP (multi-processing).

Customers who are running the configuration referenced above, in multiprocessor mode and experiencing problems, should contact HP (Hewlett-Packard) for additional information on later drivers.
