ur earlier conversation, you cann reach the RASPPPOE Windows 2000 how-to by going to the following address: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~normanb/README2K.HTM The IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error your are receiving is an error that can be generated by devices such as NICs and video adapters that use IRQ lines. After doing a search on google, I found the following information that may be useful: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0xA) 1 - memory referenced 2 - IRQL 3 - value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation 4 - address which referenced memory An attempt was made to touch pagable memory at a process internal request level (IRQL) too high. This is usually caused by drivers using improper addresses. From the error you are getting it looks like there is a problem with either the IRQ line your NICs are using (they may be in conflict with each other, or other devices such as video adapters), or there is a bug in the NICs' drivers that is trying to access improper memory addresses. For more information on these errors, you should consult with the vendor of your NICs or your PC system, as it is not an area we can provide technical support for. It would also be worth checking for updated software drivers for Windows 2000 for the NICs. It does not appear to be an error with the raspppoe protocol itself.
