HP Network Application Wipes Out Network Connections
I installed the latest Proliant Service Pack (PSP) for Windows 2003, and
after a reboot my Network Connections folder is empty. The system gadgets area now links an HP network icon to the HP Network Configuration application. How do I configure TCP/IP settings here? How do I get access to the familiar Microsoft list of protocols installed, and the associated configuration dialogs for each? I'm not crazy about the HP way of doing this. What is the easiest way to go back to the standard Windows driver for the onboard network card? -- Will |

HP Network Application Wipes Out Network Connections
I get the feeling after looking deeper that the HP Network Configuration
utility has wiped out or corrupted networking on my Windows 2003 server. I don't find any way to uninstall this application in Add Remove Programs. It is apparently a protocol that needs to be uninstalled from within the list of protocols in the Microsoft properties dialog for the adapter. But I have no way to bring up that dialog because the list of adapters is empty. How do I recover at this point? -- Will "Will" wrote in message ...

What NIC's do you have? Did you lay down the latest versions for the drivers? I have seen this happen a couple times, and we found the issue to be doing the PSP via an RDP session. You need to do it via an RDP CONSOLE session to ensure success. Get your NIC drivers straight, and you will see them under the NCU. - LC |

t... Which version of the PSP did you install? What Server is it on? What NIC's do you have? Did you lay down the latest versions for the drivers? The PSP I installed was the latest on the HP site for DL380 G2. I downloaded 7.51 found he http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/fi...oad/24537.html Server is a DL380 G2. NIC is the built in 10/100 card on that system (NC3xxx). The latest drivers were installed by the PSP, and I guess those are 8.x. I have seen this happen a couple times, and we found the issue to be doing the PSP via an RDP session. You need to do it via an RDP CONSOLE session to ensure success. Get your NIC drivers straight, and you will see them under the NCU. I installed PSP from the console directly, no RDP involved. I'm open to ideas on how to get the correct NIC drivers installed, but in the meantime is there a way to just get this thing off my system and just let Microsoft re-install the defaults (which were working fine I might add). -- Will |

If necessary, remove the adapters, and let the OS re-PnP them. Once they are there and look healthy, then go to your network properties and chose any of the available network interfaces. Once at an adapters properties, you will see an HP advanced driver-thingo-or-something bound to the interface. It should have a checkmark next to it. If you highlight that option, and then click the uninstall button below the listed components, the entire tool will be removed. Then, you can start over. Firmware (if applicable) should be updated Drivers should be updated Re-install the NCU You can do this discretely from the packages that are in the PSP folder. There is a text file that identifies what each of the packages are, so chosing them is very easy. I hope that helps, - LC |
