This article was previously published under Q188414 SYMPTOMS
Random STOP 0x0000000A error messages may occur in NDIS, NWLNKIPX,
NWLNKSPX, or NTOSKRNL when running the IPX/SPX protocol over token ring.
NOTE: These problems have been experienced with IBM PCI Token Ring adapters
using the Ibmtrp.sys driver. Olicom PCI Token Ring adapters have had
reports of similar problems.
The Stop 0x0000000A seems to occur most often following an IPX send packet
in the packet clean up routines. At times, the system may seem stable
before experiencing the problem. Other times the system may fail during
startup immediately following the load of the NWLNKSPX driver when the
first packet attempts to be sent.
CAUSE
The cause of the problem is NDIS packet corruption caused by pool
corruption. Most often, the NDIS packet header was found to be corrupt
following the send of the packet on the wire. In particular, the
"pNdispacket->protocolReserved->srConnFile" field was found to be
corrupted.
