Ironic BSOD

It's rather ironic when the laptop Blue Screens as I start to install the debug symbols in order to debug a blue screen on a server. I think the pc is having one of those days - much like my past two weeks (I think I'm still trying to catch up on having 4 days vacation in October - and yet I've got two more days off at the end of this week - can't wait!)
Update Annoyingly, the pc reboots after the blue screen appears for about 2 seconds. I have turned off the restart on system failure option in My Computer properties. It occurs whenever I double click one of the symbol.exe files across the network.
Update2 After extracting the symbol files from a local version I was able to analyze the dump file and it told me that the problem was in ip_fw.sys - which at first glance looks like a firewall driver. Sure enough, a google search told me that it was from the wipfw openbsd firewall implementation on Windows. Removing the software means I can run the exe with no crashes. The strange thing is that I've never heard of wipfw before and I certainly didn't install it (by itself) as I log all the programs that I install and that wasn't one of them. I wouldn't be surprised if it came with another program such as wireshark or bidiblah or something along those lines...more investigation to come.
