SYMPTOMS
On Windows CE version 2.1, if a static IP address is assigned to a built-in (non-PCMCIA) network adapter, it may cause a system crash during boot time.



CAUSE
If a network adapter is given a static IP address (rather than one assigned by DHCP), NetBIOS is told of the adapter before the NTE is completely created. This can cause a crash in NetBIOS.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, wait for the adapter to be set up before indicating to NetBIOS, as well as adding a check in NetBIOS to handle NULL adapters.



STATUS
This problem has been corrected in Windows CE version 2.11.
