Hi,

I ran into trouble with this NICs a few times, too.
Be sure you have a new driver version.
I don't know which version Xen 3.0.3 RPM delivers. Couldy you tell me?

And perhaps you should give James Harpers Paradrivers a chance.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi,

I have a Dell PowerEdge 1950 with two NICs Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T. I installed CentOS 5.1 and Xen 3.0.3 (RPM). One of my virtual machines has Windows 2003 Server. In this virtual machine my NICs appears like “Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC”. The problem is that when I ping to other machines sometimes the reply time value is very high:

C:> ping 10.1.1.1

It important to indicate that the “real” time is good ( approximately between 1 and 2 seconds ). The problem is some applications used this value to monitor some servers and send alarms when time value is high. How you can see some time the reply value is negative.

The problem is only with virtual Windows machine.

What can I do? Some idea?

Thanks a lot for your help

Roberto
