The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups, version 3.11
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Using the TRACERT command with Microsoft TCP/IP-32 does not return the correct
IP name (Inverse Mapping). For example, running
tracert 130.20.7.77
should result with the following output:
plato.lc.microsoft.com.20.130.IN-ADDR.ARPA
CAUSE
=====
TCP/IP-32 does not send a properly formatted query to a Domain Name Server
(DNS).
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft TCP/IP-32
protocol. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
