Arduino UNO Rev3 with Protoshield and Ethernet shield?

Update on this -

I've proven once again that this only happens when the Protoshield is stacked in.

I also can clarify that I'm getting the famed "Server is at 0.0.0.0" message
whenever the Proto is stacked in, but never when it's not.

Per some discussions on the above message about that error message coming up when
powering only off USB and not having enough current, I went and found a 9vDC 1amp wall wart
power supply with the correct plug.
No joy, however - and the USB port sometimes doesn't work (makes the error USB sound)
when the power supply is in line)

so I don't think my problem is power, or least it's not solved with an external power supply.

I'm wondering about the ICSP 6-pin connector.
Due to the offset of pins, layout of the Protoshield, etc
that header does not connect through from the UNO to the Ethernet board.
It does, of course, when they are the only two boards stacked.

But I don't find anything in documentation that says the Ethernet board must have the ICSP connector connected through,
or that the pins on the ICSP header are required to make the Ethernet board work.

I don't know how I'd do that, since the connectors are not in line with each other...
