Dears,
I have a question regarding transmit and recieve errors on network
cards.
Infact we have installed (complete and overwrite) AIX 5.1 on one of
our J50 machine.
This machine has two network cards installed (8f62) IBM 10/100
ethernet adapters MCA.As we install the AIX , cards become available
and required drivers for NICs devices.mca.8f62.rte and
devices.mca.8f62.diag are committed.
Now the problem is that as we assign ip address to any one of them it
appears ok.However if any one telnet into the machine or do ftp the
session hangs.Similarly ping operation hangs after some time and
following errors appear in the error log:
