hi, first time i have ever used a forum, so if i make any mistakes please let me know!!
first of all thank you for any post's i get in reply!!
Currently running two computers over home network for playing games and sharing a broadband dsl connection through a NTL set top box.
i keep geting BSOD on one of the machines every time i either transfer a large file from one machine to another or attempt to download a big file from the net ie. a game demo
This is what the BSOD says:
An exception OE has occured at 0028:C29C3F89 in VxD FA31xND5 (01) + 00000389.
This was called from 0028:C001D218 in VxD NDIS(01)+0005B30.
May be possible to continue normally etc.
Which, of course, it isn't. The computer continues to be usable except that i can't access the other machine or the internet.
I am using Netgear FA311 NIC's in both machines which are connected to a belkin router (4 port cable/dsl gateway).
Both machines are running winME. The problem machine has had its Bios updated to the newest version. All the drivers (graphics, network card, sound, logitech mouse) upgraded to the newest versions on a 'try one at a time' basis but to no avail. I have eliminated overheating as the machine side hasn't been on since the day i built it and it sits in a nice cool ventilated attic. I have tried swapping the pci slot the card is plugged into. Nope.
Tried swapping the cards over in the machines. card works fine in other machine (in fact using it now!) i have searched the micosoft knowledge base and found several references to 0028:C001D218 but nothing specific to my problem.
Looked at Netgears site for this problem and found nothing except a registry check settings entry. which i did and found that they were correct. Checked all the N/g's i usally have a look at and found several entries relating to netgear issues. nothing relly helpful.
This is really annoying me as it is the first time i have been stumped by a computer based problem in a long time and while i quite enjoy problem solving, it is getting beyond a joke.
So over to you guys out there. If there is any specific info you need and if someone can give me any tips please let me know. they will all be gratefully received.
