Error or Hang with WINSOCK.DLL Real Mode TCP/IP and PC AnyWhere

ID: Q134653

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft LAN Manager, versions 2.2b, 2.2c

SYMPTOMS

Symptom 1

On your computer running LAN Manager real mode TCP/IP, when you terminate a PC Anywhere application from the host computer, the computer stops responding (hangs) and the following error message appears:

Winsock Fatal Error
Remoteabort_cd():SDGetAddrPerThreadStruct()

At times, the computer hangs with a black screen.

Symptom 2

When you have a lot of screen activity on your computer running LAN Manager real mode TCP/IP, (moving Windows around rapidly on the screen), a large number of WinSock message requests are queued for background processing (by WINSOCK.DLL), which results in the following FATAL error message:

DC Cache Full: Too many GetDC() calls

In addition, the system hangs and a General Protection Fault (GPF) error message appears in Windows 3.1. In some cases, the error message appears only when you attach a debugger to the computer.

CAUSE

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in LAN Manager 2.2b and 2.2c. A fix to this problem is in development, but has not been regression- tested and may be destabilizing in production environments. Microsoft does not recommend implementing this fix at this time.
