Windows XP Image

To deploy a Windows XP Image, follow the steps in the Microsoft Article Q246184 at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben- us%3b246184.

This section lists known problems and solutions when Windows Server 2003.

Problem: IP address is configurable on a member of the team.

Solution: When a team is created, the TCP/IP properties for the adapters are unselected. Then you can select and configure TCP/IP properties of the adapters and configure an IP address manually.

Problem: When creating 64 VLANs, all virtual adapters show disconnected or one of the 64 VLANs show disabled.

Solution: The maximum VLAN configurations are 63 tagged and one untagged VLAN ID 0. If 64 tagged VLANs are created, they are disconnected. A reboot is required and only 63 tagged VLANs show links, while a 64th is disabled.

The following table lists known miscellaneous problems and solutions:

Problem: When the bus on the system is operating at PCI mode, the adapter performs at PCI mode if it is added by the Hot Plug application.

Solution: When the system is booted up without an adapter, the bus operates at the lowest mode which is PCI. This problem can be corrected by rebooting the system.

Problem: The adapter may not perform at optimal level when it is added by the Hot Plug application on some systems.

Solution: The system BIOS, in some systems, does not set the cache line size and the latency timer, after the adapter is added by the Hot Plug application. This problem can be corrected by rebooting the system.

Problem: The adapter cannot be seen on the PCI BUS.
