Hello, I have a dell D600 laptop that works fine at the office on
our wired network.
The unit will BSOD at the employees home on bootup. There is no
xxx.sys file listed on the BSOD screen just memory address
0x0000000A, 0xFF1701F0, 0x00000002
He uses a wireless router at home.
The wireless card is active and shows no faults and is set to DHCP.
The Lan card is set to dedicated IP address for our system.
I have not been able to duplicate the problem at work.

Thanks for any help.

What happens when you boot it up in the office with the LAN
cable unplugged?

I'd say the more definitive test would be for you to disable the WiFi
device while it is working at work, have the user take it home (still
disabled) and see if it boots. If it does, have them enable the wifi
device. If it then blue screens - albeit strange - you may have found the
issue.

Do they dock at home to anything?

I was thinking along the lines that there may be files on the
office LAN that are needed to complete the boot process.
