T110 with multiple Intel NIC's, BSOD. Any fix?
I have a T110 I bought a few months back. This problem is apparently a known issue related to Intel CT series PCI-E NIC cards in the T110.
You cannot run multiple NIC's in the system at least this series, it BSOD's with a Call the hardware mfg error message etc etc. Any plans for a BIOS update to fix this problem? Or is my solution to Ebay them and buy a Dual Port Intel NIC instead?
Thanks for any insight you can offer.
Outside of that nagging issue, the server has been just absolutely 100% rock solid reliable. Not a crash yet in all that time not related to the NIC issue, and I've thrown a pretty fair amount at it, from file sharing to Exchange 2010, multiple VM's in Hyper-V, it just plain runs like a horse. For the money, I couldn't ask for more I suppose.

If you're trying to ask Dell about this, you'll need to open a case with support. This forum is a user-to-user forum with Dell moderators.
As a user I don't know if Dell is working on a bios fix for this, but as the T110 is basically a desktop computer, I doubt multiple NIC support was a consideration in the (bios) design. You may want to consider indeed going with a dual port Intel NIC for your problem.

I had this issue on a T110 system but resolved it in a manner I forgot to document.
Time went on, and I got a T110 II system and configured in the same manner, with one additional Intel CT PCI-E NIC. The system was running Windows 2008 R2, and again, no problems.
Eventually, I installed Windows 2012 R2 on the indentical configuration, and BOOM. Every ~7 minutes, I get a blue screen (BSOD) that restarts the system for another 7 minutes.
Configuration:
T110 II with Intel CT running RRAS. NAT has Intel CT adapter as public.
When running Windows 2008 R2, no problem.
When running Windows 2012 R2, BSOD in tcpip.sys every 7 minutes as soon as I route traffic over the NAT public interface.
Any insight into how you identified the problem would be appreciated.
Any workaround information would be appreciated.
As I said, I had a similar issue before, and managed to resolve it but don't remember how.
