I'm running an hp Proliant DL380 server. This is also my exchange 2003
server, and is a DC. I recently approved windows server 2003 service pack 1
to install through WSUS. After rebooting the server, once windows has
completely loaded it seems that my NIC cards no longer work. I can't ping
anything, nor can I ping the server. The odd thing is that I can ping the
server all I want, but only up until a certain point that windows loads to,
and then nada. Removing sp1 resolves this issue. Checked for upgraded
drivers from HP, installed them, and same scenario. Anyone having similar
issues?

Is the Windows Firewall turned on?

Call PSS. Problems with service pack installs are always free....

Are there any event log errors??

My problem is similar although they work until the wee hours of the night when
traffic is slow. Not good when you are running web sites/email server. I tried
to replace the NICs but that didn't do any good. Next step will be to uninstall
SP1. This has happen on two different 2003 servers. Downgrading one to W2K
server fixed that server - that shouldn't be the solution.
