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.

[C:\]bldlevel \genmac\driver\genm32w.os2
Build Level Display Facility Version 6.12.675 Sep 25 2001

Vendor:          Willibald Meyer
Revision:        1.07.XXX WPA
File Version:    1.7
Description:     GenMac Wrapper

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?
