    Can two tcp/ip stacks share an NDIS interface ...

You can't count on it.  NDIS 1.0.1 (which is what every driver I've seen
conforms to) doesn't guarantee that it can deliver a packet to more than
one protocol stack.  From your symptoms, it appears that your setup
isn't doing this.  A different NDIS driver might help (provided both we
and HP wrote our code right, we never tested two TCP/IPs side by side),
but it isn't guaranteed to work in all situations.
