SYMPTOMS
3Com network interface cards (NICs) come with a SmartAgent service that allows remote monitoring, administration, and troubleshooting. On some configurations, it can produce high CPU usage when used in conjunction with the NIC that has Windows NT Load Balancing Service (WLBS) bound to it.
RESOLUTION
