Problem with Scope ID on Alpha and MIPS Systems

 Last reviewed: May 15, 1997

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

Using a NetBIOS Scope ID that contains more than one character on an Alpha- based or MIPS-based computer causes Scope IDs to function incorrectly. If Intel-based, Alpha-based, and MIPS-based computers are all configured with TCP/IP as the only protocol installed, and all three systems are on the same segment (no routers in- between), and all have the same Scope ID (for example "test") the Intel-based computer generates the following error message when attempting to Net View the Alpha-based computer: 

   System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found.
Likewise, the Alpha-based computer returns the same error message when attempting to Net View the Intel-based computer.

If the MIPS-based computer is involved, either Net Viewing one of the other computers or being Net Viewed by one of the other systems, the following STOP message appears: 

   ***STOP 0x01E (0x80000002,0xFCC3110C,0x0000000,0x8092EEBF)
   UNHANDLED KERNEL EXCEPTION 80000002 from FCC3110C (0,8092EEBF)
   ***FCC311OC has base at FCC20000 - nbt.sys

STATUS
