Blue Screen of Death ( BSOD) from tcpip.sys
Hey everyone. I have this horrible problem that keeps killing my server. I get the blue screen stating tcpip.sys failed. I used the Windows Debugging tool (Windbg) and confirmed that it is indeed tcpip.sys. I tried updating (upgrading?) the drivers for many things, including my Network Card, but I have no luck. I have a Dell Poweredge 2900 server. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi, I've had the same problem since RTM. I've just left the machine running (rebooting every couple of hours).It all started after installing RRAS, however - it seems to have calmed down since unchecking IPv6 for both the Lan and Wan adapters...Hope this helps, seems to be working for me.

I'm having this as well, and the only thing that is working for me so far is to unplug the network adapter (its a FritzLAN WLAN USB stick) I really really need help with this, I am currently unable to access the internet via my Vista box.nm, I see this is a Windows Server forum - anyone can give me info about this error on Vista would be greatly appreciated, or at least point me the right direction. Have contacted MS support over a hotfix for this error, but I have gotten no answer. (likely weekend I guess). If I could download it I would.

Sorry to hear that. I never found a fix. I just installed the retail release of the 64 bit Version today. I'll have to see how that goes...Good luck.

My SBS 2008 SP1 (64 bit) system is suffering from similar tcpip (d1) crashes. Any progress to report? Fulco

I have a 2008 R2 system and I'm expericing the same issue. Server Blue Screens with DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, STOP ERROR 0x000000d1 TCPIP.SYS I contact IBM hardware service and we've installed the latest drivers last week. This error seems to be happening every Sunday. Only thing this server is running is Exchange 2007 SP1 and AD, nothing else.
