RxDummyRCBUsedErrors (NE3200) This counter tracks an 82586 error.
In some cases, the 82586 may attempt to receive data into a
nonexistent receive buffer at the end of its receive buffer list.
To catch this condition and avoid internal data corruption, a
dummy receive buffer is added to the end of the list.
This variable counts the number of times the 82586 attempted to
write into the dummy buffer.
InternalAdapterReset (NE3200) This counts the number of resets (by the 80186) that
occurred on the adapter due to failures on the adapter.
This counter is incremented when the software corrects itself for
minor problems or if the adapter is in an unknown state.
It is common for this counter to be incremented.
Under normal conditions, more of these errors should occur
during idle time than when the driver is busy.
This counter would only indicate a hardware problem if it
registered thousands of these errors when the network is busy.
MondoFragmentLengthErrors (NE3200) This counter tracks the number of instances in which
an NLM
TM
on the server has passed the NE3200 driver an ECB
whose logical memory address could not be translated to a
physical memory address.
You should check other NLM programs on the system and
upgrade them.
If you are still experiencing problems, identify which NLM is
causing the problem and contact the third-party manufacturer of
the NLM.
PollingTimeout (NE3200) This counter tracks the number of times the adapter’s
request was put on the queue but was not serviced within 800
nanoseconds (default).
After this occurs, the adapter fires an interrupt.
ResetBecauseHardwareDiedErrors (NE3200) If the adapter is in an unknown state or stops
transmitting on the host side, the driver increments this counter
and resets or restarts the adapter.
NumberOfInterruptsFired (NE3200) This counter is incremented each time the adapter had
to fire an interrupt to service a request because the polled request
wasn’t serviced.
