An update to turn off default SNP features is available for Windows Server 2003-based and Small Business Server 2003-based computers

Issues:
After you install Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack (SNP) on a computer that has a TCP/IP Offload-enabled network adapter, you may experience many network-related problems.

To manually disable RSS and TCP Offload yourself, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  2. Locate the following registry subkey:
  3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
  4. Right-click EnableTCPChimney, and then click Modify.
  5. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
  6. Right-click EnableRSS, and then click Modify.
  7. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
  8. Right-click EnableTCPA, and then click Modify.
  9. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
  10. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
