Nbf Received an Unexpected FRMR Packet in Event Viewer

ID: Q103154

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0

The following error may occur in the event log when a logical link connection (LLC) entity receives an invalid data unit:

Nbf received an unexpected FRMR packet from a remote computer.

FRMR is the Frame Reject frame sent by the NetBEUI Frames (NBF) LLC layer when one of the following conditions causes a data unit to become invalid:

Invalid sequence number

Invalid presence of an information field

Maximum allowable length for an LLC data unit is exceeded

These errors cannot be corrected by retransmission. In response to the FRMR frame, the workstation sends a Disconnect (DISC) command to terminate the link connection. The workstation may then reestablish the connection.
