I cannot get my USB ADSL modem (Alcatel for BT Openworld) to work at the same time as my USB Wireless LAN adaptor (Belkin). BSOD error message mentions 0E, VxD--- and VxDNDIS(01). Each will work if the other is not activated, but not much use for Internet Connection Sharing. All the latest drivers installed. WinMe, Matrox G550, firewire. Any ideas anyone?

USB network adaptors conflict
- Thread starter dodgyhair
- Start date
Kinda called this one before I had completely read the info. The network driver stacks and protocols are clashing. The ADSL needs one configuration, the wireless LAN another.
With USB doing this hundreds of problems can sneak up, as the stack to make the USB to PCI to south bridge to kernel driver stack to network kernel stack to network protocol to network client to USER to GDI and back again is so complicated I don't want to even contemplate.
It may not be possible to ICS with USB as the USB to network kernel service may be designed only for a single service. You have two going bidirectionally at the same time.
Please try completely removing the entire network and rebuild from scratch. {b}Do not[/b] reboot between settings - if the system, after detecting something or making a settings change, wants you to reboot don't until all settings and component installations are complete.
If need be you may have to go into Safe Mode to remove the network components, don't reboot, go to Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs/Windows Setup/Communications and deselect Dial Up Networking (that is if it was installed), then reboot.
I am not quite sure if this is the solution - but we have to start somewhere. Thanks for trying.
Your mileage may vary...

Its a long and winding road...
Did as you said, took all day, but same problem (well, actually it now just reboots automatically without going through BSOD). Did manage to fix a few other niggles on the way though and got WLAN working by itself.
Have decided to give up on USB modem and go for Telewest's ethernet cable service, 1Mb, so problem should disappear soon anyway. Thanks for help though.
