Installing a 4th Gigabit NIC in my SCO5* System

If four or more Gigabit adapters are installed, the operating system does not have enough buffer memory for the adapters to function normally. Some traffic does not pass through any of the installed adapters.

By setting NSTREAM to 8196 and NSTRPAGES to 16000, your adapters should function properly.

This applies to:

Intel® PRO/1000 Gigabit Server Adapter
Intel® PRO/1000 MF Dual Port Server Adapter
