SUMMARY

This article describes the availability of the Microsoft 32-bit Data Link Control (DLC) update to Microsoft's 32-bit Data Link Control (MSDLC32) protocol.

MORE INFORMATION

DLC Update

Update your existing Microsoft 32-bit Data Link Control (MSDLC32) protocol for Windows 95 with the DLC update if you have encountered the following problem: 

   Your current 32-bit DLC protocol stack may hang under Windows 95 if a
   32-bit program tries to open the network adapter more than once to
   connect to two different IBM host computers, or if multiple 32-bit
   programs try to open the network adapter at the same time to connect to
   different host computers. For example, the problem can occur if a
   terminal emulation program opens the adapter twice to connect to two
   different AS/400 hosts, and opens a display session to each host. This
   problem happens rarely on Ethernet networks, but may occur often on
   token ring networks due to the higher number of status indication
   messages.
NOTE: You must first install the Microsoft 32-bit Data Link Control (MSDLC32) protocol for Windows 95 (Msdlc32.exe) before you install the DLC update (Dlc32upd.exe). For information about the MSDLC32 protocol, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
