SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:

You install two network adapters on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP.
You create a network bridge that uses both of the network adapters.
You install network driver interface specification (NDIS) intermediate drivers on the computer.

In this scenario, you may receive a Stop error message that resembles the following:

STOP 0x000000D1 (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4)
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Back to the top | Give Feedback

This problem occurs because of a problem in the Bridge.sys driver. The Bridge.sys driver stores its forwarding information in the ProtocolReserved member of the NDIS_PACKET structure. If ProtocolReserved was last used by another process at the time that the Bridge.sys driver accesses ProtocolReserved, this Stop error may occur.
