Abstract: NETWORK PORT ASSIGNMENTS DON'T MATCH NT NETWORK PROPERTIES 

TEXT:

Network port assignments don't match NT network properties

PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:

•  The system is a Netfinity 4000R server, Type 8652, and Model.
•  The following NOS(es) are affected:

    Microsoft Windows NT, version 4.0 with Service Pack 5 applied.

•  The system has the described symptom.

DETAILS:

The Netfinity 4000R server has two (2) on-board Ethernet adapter ports.

When the BIOS scans the bus for the adapters, they are numbered 1and 2 on the front panel indicator lights.
When Microsoft Windows NT is installed the same adapters are numbered 2 and 1, and do not correspond to the indicator lights on the front panel of the server.

Microsoft Windows NT scans for Network adapters differently than the BIOS and because of this the adapters will show up in reversed order.

Note: This does not affect server stability or data integrity.
