Thanks for your reply. How do i find out for sure if i should disable these features?  Ive taken some details from my computer that help in the solution.

Details of network card from system information:
HP NC373i Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter
Driver      c:\windows\system32\drivers\bxnd60a.sys (5.2.14.0, 81.54 KB (83,496 bytes), 31/08/2010 14:55)

In the advanced properties of this network card (device manager) and I can see it has receive side scaling enabled.  Does this mean that this driver takes advantage of this feature and it should be enabled.  

Details of network card from system information:
HP NC110T PCIe Gigabit Server Adapter
Driver: c:\windows\system32\drivers\n1e6032e.sys (9.12.14.0, 301.63 KB (308,864 bytes), 10/09/2010 12:05)

I cant see a option for receive side scaling in the advanced propties of the network controller.

I've disabled the Receive-Side Scaling State.  dont see it as a big issue if its disabled - i like the idea microsoft trying to implement.  Thanks for the info.
