SYMPTOMSNetwork connections on your Windows NT computer are lost, new users can not connect, and applications requiring network access stop responding (hang). Applications running locally may continue to function, but may also eventually hang. CAUSEYou are using the DC21040.SYS Ethernet driver. A problem with the driver causes the protocol to run out of resources when dealing with loopback packets. The system becomes unable to accept anymore incoming packets from the adapter. Loopback occurs when an application is accessing a local resource (for example, a UNC file name) rather than a local driver letter. STATUS
