Remote Boot Workstation Hangs when Multicast Received

ID: Q111330

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft LAN Manager, version 2.2

SYMPTOMS

When an RPL machine is actively accessing the FIT translated RPL volume (drive C:) and a multicast packet is received, the system sometimes hangs.

This behavior has been found to occur most often on a 3Com Etherlink II card, but could be seen with other adapters.

CAUSE

This was caused by a routine being called by means of a dispatch table to low memory when the code resided in low memory and should have been called directly.

RESOLUTION

The fix for the LAN Manager MS-DOS redirector that corrects this problem can be obtained as CSD00.078.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in LAN Manager version 2.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

STEPS TO DUPLICATE BEHAVIOR

Create a batch file on the workstation to recursively do a DIR C:\ /s and run this while continuously starting and stopping the Netlogon service on the server (which causes Netlogon mailslot broadcasts).
