Default DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - tcpip.sys

Every once in a while I get a BSOD with:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

TCPIP.SYS

Not exactly sure what else is listed as it goes so fast. After numerous
searches I have found it to be one (or perhaps more) many things:

Bad Driver
Zone Alarm
Hardware Issue
etc..

Reinstalled my Wireless card drivers, video card drivers which are the only
ones I have updated. No help obviously. Any ideas? Here are my Specs: (Brand
New Dell Inspiron 1720)

Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Premium
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.40GHz
SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT
2 Gigs DDR2

Guess I can't edit my post? Anyway here is what the minidump says:

FAULTING_MODULE: 81c00000 nt

DEBUG_FLR_IMAGE_TIMESTAMP: 4549b2f6

WRITE_ADDRESS: unable to get nt!MmSpecialPoolStart
unable to get nt!MmSpecialPoolEnd
unable to get nt!MmPoolCodeStart
unable to get nt!MmPoolCodeEnd
00235048

CURRENT_IRQL: 2

FAULTING_IP:
tcpip+50163
8d289163 ?? ???

CUSTOMER_CRASH_COUNT: 2

DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID: WRONG_SYMBOLS

BUGCHECK_STR: 0xD1

LAST_CONTROL_TRANSFER: from 8d289163 to 81c8fd84

-------

Does that help at all? Just seems to confirm the TCPIP issue.

How is your wireless connected? You say card, is it an add-on PCI or PCI-e?
If you also have onboard LAN you should disable those. Try an earlier
driver for the card if the current one is problematic.

zonealarm has been known to add about a trillion problems to windows...

its one of the most crappy programs out there... I wouldnt get near it with
a 10 foot stick

try uninstalling it, and see if you get the problem again.

If you do, its not zonealarm,
if you dont then zonealarm is the problem for one more time....

Going to try and remove zone alarm. I assume that it is what causes the
problem as it never happened before that point. Any suggestions for anti
virus / spyware? I would prefer to have both in one. Anything I suppose
except norton, which I cannot stand. Caused many problems for me in the past.

XP and now Vista.

JesterDev,

Try NOD32. I'm sure you'll like it.

I'm having the same issue, but my laptop won't power up now at all -
just gets to the home screen briefly, then straight onto BSOD each time
I reboot. I've tried in both normal, and safe modes. Was trying to
install Zonealarm when it happened too!

All help will be greatly appreciated!

That error is a driver issue. I would try and do a Repair Install
