Hi Michael,

I have an order in for a HP 2-Port 381T from my reseller that has the supported chipset. I should be getting it this week or next. I should have a chance to try the software next week or the following. If I have any issues I will repost to this thread.

Thanks again,

Tom

Hi Michael,

So I installed the PROWinx64.exe with just the integrated NIC's to look at the software. It installed ok, it even recognize and installed drivers for the integrated NIC's (HPE Ethernet 1 Gb 2-port 368i Adapters). I did get an Unhandled error loading the Config Utility. So at this point I'm not sure if its due to the OS or the NIC's. My next steps are to see about enabling the (JIT) debugger as noted in the details. I also want to install the (HP 2-port 381T Adapter) as well. Any additional suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Hello MajorTMan,

I am happy that using the latest software works. And for the HPE cards that is still having issue, I suggest that you contact HP for the latest and appropriate driver for these cards. They should have a driver tailored for this cards.

Michael,

I confirmed the system has the most latest drivers from the vendor. I will continue with my plan to test with add-in NIC's and will report findings.

Thanks,

Hi Michael,

So good news. I installed the supported adapter we purchase and PROSet Config Util is no longer erroring out. It seems the unhandled error occurs when it can't find any supported adapters. As shown in the attachments, it now identifies the supported adapters as well as the unsupported. My next steps are to team the supported adapters and continue testing.

Thanks again.

Hello MajorTMan,

I am happy to hear that. You may not continue to create a team and test the connection.

Just tell us if you still need further assistance.
