Re: [FW1] 4.1 SP1 & Stonebeat 1.0/2.0 Compatibility






The BSOD is usually caused by a NIC with a GUI software "agent".  Intel runs
ProMon, and 3Com has their SmartAgent. Both are GUI tools in NT, usually
represented by a network card icon in the system tray by the clock.  The tools
typically display the LEDs on the NIC, and information about the link status,
duplex mode, etc.  None of the functionality of such agents is necessary or
required, or recommended for a firewall. But these agents are often installed by
default, and can be difficult to remove.

Because of the level at which they interface with the network card itself (being
about the same spot between layer 1 and 2 as the StoneBeat FullCluster driver),
they can conflict with FullCluster's driver and cause the BSOD.  We recommend
you remove those agents first, before installing the FullCluster driver.

The easiest way to remove them is to edit the Registry key at:
HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and delete any items in there with paths to network card software.  Intel's runs
PROMON.EXE; I don't recall what 3Com calls theirs, but it would be there and
should be obvious.

If you have problems or questions, you are also more than welcome to contact

Had the same problem. Installed SB driver - reboot,Stonebeat itself - reboot
- Blue screen - reboot to "Last Known Good" - command line - cbconfig -
manual cofiguration - reboot - works like a charm since that.
As I said - Dump the GUI!!!
