    I have a SQL server that drops its network connection evry once in a while. Anyone know of a PerfMon counter that indicates if a NIC card is overloaded?

    TIA,

    The best one to tell if the NIC is bottlenecked is to use Network Interfaces/Output Queue Length.

    From Explain window

    quote:

    Output Queue Length is the length of the output packet queue (in packets). If this is longer than two, there are delays and the bottleneck should be found and eliminated, if possible. Since the requests are queued by the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) in this implementation, this will always be 0.
