Hi,

I recently added the VMDP 1.7\_02 to my Windows 2003/08 virtual servers. All  
nics went to 1gb connections and this also added the Xen disk driver. All  
was good.

The issues that appeared were that you could not do a “nslookup” on the VM  
and the Novell Client 2sp1 on the Windows 2008 server would not connect.

The work-around is to “Disable TCP Checksum Offloading”.  
Go to the properties of the LAN driver → configure → Advanced → Set  
"TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4) to disabled

Refer to TID 7007604

Regards  
John
