the testing of WinIB and Linux gen2 have been done using opensm and not

it solves your problem?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=464260009-31082007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>In any

the following:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=464260009-31082007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>1) Is
the windows to windows connectivity not working or only

<DIV><SPAN class=464260009-31082007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>2) Can
you look at the event log of the windows machines and let us know if there is

and I know the IBAL interface has new functions and a new version number
in the current build. There is absolutely nothing to tell Windows Update
that drivers for PnP hardware id “IBA\IPoIB” in version 614 of the IB

hardware id “IBA\IPoIB”.</FONT></FONT><BR><BR><FONT size=2><FONT
