This must solve your problem, because the lower provider called is diferent
for each protocol. With your bypass method it doesn't work because always the
same lower provider is called, indepently of which protocol is the socket for.

MS Recomends installing the LSP over all protocols of the same family,
because some aplications call select() with sockets of diferent protocols,
and this will stop working if and LSP is installed over only one of those
protocols
