You need to log into ftp.netlabs.org as the user "netlabs" with a password of "rulez". In a browser, just use Adrian's link, replacing " <at> " with "@".

There were indeed some issues with the 1.0 build
addressed in 1.07. You should be able to grab 1.7 by following the info in
Adrian's post on the GenMAC user list at     
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.netlabs.genmac.user/260/match=
  
which will direct you to:

ftp://netlabs:rulez <at>
ftp.netlabs.org/ndis/genmac17.zip

Please note Adrian's comments in the mailing list.

Well, I expressed myself wrongly here.
I am using the E1000 driver for the wired NIC.
WiFi runs on GenMac:

Thankz

Hmmm... So you're using GenMAC for your wired
ethernet as well as wireless? And you get these crashes both wired
        
and
    
wireless? Try a non-GenMAC driver for the wired NIC, if that is
        
the
    
case.

FWIW, here is  my info:

INETVER identical to yours.

For my wired NIC, I'm using the Broadcom driver,
which does not include bldlevel information:

Hi Lewis !

By now my OS/2 system has become pretty much a
                
CRAP
            
system as far as the Internet is concerned.
I just can not afford to have this damn box
          
crash
    
                
with
            
dozens of apps running:
Version numbers of TCP/IP protocol drivers:
   SOCKETS.SYS: 6.3100
   AFOS2.SYS:   6.3100
   AFINET.SYS:  6.3100

Not sure how to get the NIC versions, but I do
                
know
            
that the GenMac driver should be the latest
                
version
            
around.
I'm also using the latest WiFi driver version.

Thanks for any help

Hello Folks I still get those dreaded SOCKETS.SYS errors,
                        
even
            
                              
so
                        
I applied all those SILLY IBM fixpaks that are
                        
out
            
there.
Is there any non-standard fix out for that
                        
error?
            
  
                              
I've found that jogging my NIC driver forward
            
or
    
back a version sometimes helps. What NIC driver(s) are you
                    
using,
            
and what's your INETVER, Rick?
