We got the PowerEdge III Boxes a month ago.
http://mywiki.ncsa.uiuc.edu/wiki/Dell_PE1950_NIC_Firmware_Workaround is the solution I found. However I did not have any CD with me, so I tried to upgrade the NIC driver first as indicated by the following link in Citrix forum
http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?threadID=151786&tstart=0

I worked for me, but some guys in Citrix forum said it still has some problems after one week running.

I am still testing it, and let you know if it solves the problem or just hides it.

Cheers,
Jia

Are you referring to the firmware upgrade mentioned here:
http://mywiki.ncsa.uiuc.edu/wiki/Dell_PE1950_NIC_Firmware_Workaround

Or is it simply a driver issue?

When did you get your Poweredge 1950?

Maybe the issue was fixed in the Poweredge 1950 III?
