TCP/IP Data Corruption Problem (105555)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
This article was previously published under Q105555

SYMPTOMS

You may experience data corruption when you use TCP/IP. This only occurs if a reserved, six-bit range in the packet header is used by an application. If any of these bits are set to one, Windows NT TCP/IP miscalculates the length of the data in the packet by several bytes.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem was corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1.
