Hi guys Couple of issues that compounded them selves to make diagnostics 1) bad patching at provider side meant a link was impossible 2) Buggy Network Appliance running proprietary software indicated a Link was present (when there was not a link) (bad Control test)
Once those were resolved I could acquire a link no problem on either 5.6 Stable or 5.7 beta. the Bridge address Conflicts were resolved by turning of Bios memory mapping for 64 bit PCI-E devices (above4GB ram) (this feature not required when running native 64 bit os) I also disabled Visualization features such as IRQ mapping etc as im not using these features anyway. I hope this helps... -- Kindest regards, Tom Smyth Mobile: +353 87 6193172 --------------------------------- PLEASE CONSIDER THE ENVIRONMENT BEFORE YOU PRINT THIS E-MAIL This email contains information which may be confidential or privileged.
