TCP/IP version 1.2.1 won't even boot up for me, bombing with a blank
screen and c0000005 error right after processing CONFIG.SYS.  Has
anyone seen this or have any ideas?
--equipment: Gateway 2000 486DX2/50, 8 MB, SMC = WD Ethercard 
Plus Elite 16 network card, ATI Graphics Ultra, 207 MB IDE disk. 
--The machine runs fine under OS/2 2.0 without the TCP/IP.
--The network card runs fine under Sun's PC-NFS 3.5c in a 
virtual DOS machine, so there doesn't seem to be a hardware 
problem.
--PROTOCOL.INI looks reasonable, especially the entries for the
network card's IO address and so on.
--the various drivers loaded in CONFIG.SYS all seem happy,
judging by their screen messages as they load.  Then bang, it's
all over with the c0000005.

IBM called me just a day or two after I filed a bug report on this
and then said they'd get back--but I haven't heard anything in two
weeks now.  Does the net have any wisdom to impart?

Thanks in advance -- Eliot Smith
