SYMPTOMS
When the SPX protocol is used on an adapter driver that is NDIS 4.0 compliant, a STOP 0xA may occur in the NDIS media access control driver.



CAUSE
Nwlnkspx.sys allocates a memory block for the NDIS packet. However, the flag field of the packet is garbled because it is not initialized; therefore, the NDIS media access control driver is unable to decide if OobData is valid or not.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or the individual software update. For information on obtaining the latest service pack, please go to:
