hmaster10 Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I always having a BSOD when running P2P apps like limewire.error message:tcpip.sys - address fa6c1448 base at fa6be000I have already tried the ff:1) reinstalling the network card driver2) check RAM (found no error / damage)
allen2 Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Most of P2P software use a lot connexions a the same time and since SP2 XP has a limited number of thesse connexions. It can by modified by editing a reg key but i don't remember which one. Look on the MS website.
bonestonne Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 you could also solve your issue by not running them. reduces the chances of getting a virus too. not to mention the chances of getting caught. i don't know many people who can afford $2000 a song. i sure as heck cant. i don't use any p2p software. if i want it, i buy it. if i don't have the money for it, i find a friend who has it. much safer. like im borrowing one of my teachers spools of CDs, that'll give me plenty of music

It can by modified by editing a reg key but i don't remember which one. Look on the MS website.If anything, that'd only make things worse. The limitation on the number of connections is on half-open connections - or connections that haven't been closed. I haven't patched my system, and I'm still able to make plenty of connections when using BitTorrent (plenty > 500).Check the drive for errors using chkdsk and then run System File Checker. What anti-virus program and firewall are you using? Poor ones might improperly hook into the network stack and cause problems.

LLXX Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 What anti-virus program and firewall are you using? Poor ones might improperly hook into the network stack and cause problems.This is my guess too... firewalls especially don't like handling hundreds of connections at once.

moogles Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 I think theres a fix program in Hirens BootCD which can be downloaded here.REMOVED - No links to warez.its called XP-TCPIP-Winsock-Repair.bat, if you try that maybe it would solve your problem? It rewrites the registry keys to make it look as though the TCP/IP protocol has been reinstalled. Just a suggestion.

Jeremy Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Sounds like a rare hardware/driver incompatibility with the software. For future reference, this is an excellent resource for troubleshooting all kinds of Windows STOP/BSOD messages. No reference of 'tcpip.sys' is mentioned there.I'd suggest using another known-good NIC card.
