SYMPTOMSOn a network running NetBIOS over TCP/IP, you may notice that, if a client's connection to a Windows NT server fails or experiences a loss of session, this causes delays in sending or receiving data from other clients to and from the server. CAUSE
During a failed or disconnected client session to the server, you may
notice, using Network Monitor, that you can see the server is receiving
packets from the other clients; however, NetBIOS is not passing packets
back up to the clients. This will also show that all the send buffers have
been consumed and they are waiting for the server to respond (this is with
a low level NetBIOS ACK, not a NetBIOS packet). The Network Monitor trace
shows that TCP/IP has already ACK'd these packets but the NetBIOS layer has
not.
RESOLUTIONTo resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, please see the following article in the
