SBC DSL Installer BSOD's XP+SP2 - Warning
Hello,
I am having start up problems after I installed the software for SBC DSL, I can only start up in safe mode. How do I get ride of IPVNMON.SYS correctly? Maybe that will allow me to boot normally. But that aside what is BSOD? What is the advantage to having a "bridge " connection? Thank you Michael "Leythos" wrote: I was at a clients location the other day and installed SBC DSL service for them, it was a self install and they would not let us manually setup the DSL Modem, said we had to use their software (what a crock). The installer doesn't properly complete, which the tech already figured would happen, and requires a reboot, where it completely changes your Network Configuration settings and re-enables the firewall. It also installs a IPViewer app. After the last reboot the systems all BSOD's with an error pointing to IPVNMON.SYS being the problem - I did a search online and found others having this problem. Was able to boot in safe mode, remove the IPViewer program, and the machines booted fine. As a side note, the DSL modems don't default to bridge mode, you get a public IP, but DNS (if you do dynamic) points to 192.168.0.1.... If you get a competent support person they will tell you how to access the Modem's advanced page and set it to bridge mode - this gives you a full public connection. Yes, the system was protected using a firewall, so the public connection was what we wanted. This was just a warning about the SBC Self Install CD software and the BSOD - that was the first BSOD I've seen in XP, ever. -- remove 999 in order to email me |
