first paragraph


"...it is necessary to explicitly install the Network Monitor
Driver networking service to collect the Network Interface Object, for
example." Since the Network Monitor Driver adds the Network Segment Object,
this should be "Network Segment Object" instead of "Network Interface
Object".

The calculation for % Network Utilization should be (Bytes Total/sec * 8 / Current Bandwidth) * 100.

3rd paragraph

The text states "In this example the IRQs associated with the Intel 8042 10/100
Ethernet card are assigned hard processor affinity for CPU 1", referring to Figure 5-
27 on page 261. On that figure, a line corresponding to interrupt 12, controlled by
the i8042prt device, is highlighted and shown with processor affinity enabled.
However, this driver is the keyboard/mouse driver, not a NIC driver, so this change
would not have the desired effects of setting processor affinity for the network
interrupt handlers.

2nd paragraph

This paragraph says that "clicking on the Maxamize Throughput for Network
Applicatinos radio button sets LanmanServer Size to Large and LargeSystemCache to
1..."

However, Microsoft Article 232271 says that Maxamize Throughput for Network
Applications sets LargeSystemCache to 0.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory
ManagementLargeSystemCache

Your choices for this registry key are 0 and 1.
1 = Maximize Throughput for File Sharing
0 = Maximize Throughput for Network Applications

I have verified this on a Windows NT server.
