Confirmed you send that to me. However I seem to remeber that I also
asked about WAL
and the output of netstat. I could be wrong but never received a reply
to this.

Well most of the emails contained a lot of noise and little information
for example not many people know of the setup you are running.
I also have very mixed impressions about if during the testing

That the stack is trapping does not have to mean its the stack that has
a bug ? Maybe its a driver that is causing it.
I have not seen indepth analyses here on the list of your problem. I
have not seen you post a lot of indepth information to the list.

BTW after startup of the machine what the output of netstat -m say ?
Keep an eye on the MBUFS.

Previous emails stated it was after a few minutes of usage, see thats

Well in my and *other* there opion you partly have this mess to thank
for yourself, sorry. Emails like this somehow support my and other
people there view on this:

In the email:

After implementing Roderick's Config.sys changes, I'm now getting the

I think I have to give up at this time. I'm just out of guesses &
