The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups, version 3.11
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Your computer running Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 with TCP/IP-32 network
protocol stops responding (hangs) or drops back to MS-DOS when the 32-bit
NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NBT) makes a query to the Domain Name Service (DNS).
CAUSE
=====
The buffer allocated for the DNS name query in 32-bit NBT is one byte too short.
The code that creates the DNS name query does not count the length byte of the
domain name and allocates a buffer that is one byte short.
RESOLUTION
==========
Microsoft has released a new file, VNBT.386, that corrects this problem.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in TCP/IP-32. This problem has been
corrected in an updated TCP/IP-32 version 3.11a. For information on the
availability of TCP/IP-32 3.11a, see article Q122544 in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base.
