SYMPTOMS
When you use TCP/IP only on an MS Network Client 3.0 or 3.11, the results of the command NET DIAG /STATUS show 0 packets transmitted and 0 packets received.

The following example output is from an MS Network Client installed from the Windows NT 3.51 Server compact disc with the TCP/IP protocol only. The command entered from the MS-DOS prompt is NET DIAG /STATUS to examine the local adapter status:

Remote Adapter STATUS

Permanent node name: 08002B33257E

Adapter operational for 0 minutes.

254 Free ncbs out of 254 with 254 the maximum.

1 Sessions in use

6 Sessions allocated

0 packets transmitted 0 packets received.

0 retransmissions 0 retrys exhausted.

0 crc errors 0 alignment errors 0 collisions 0 Aborted transmissions.

name 2 LCTIMDI2 status 04

name 3 AGGIELAND status 84

The command completed successfully.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem and see the number of packets transmitted and received, use NetBEUI instead of the TCP/IP protocol.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Network Client versions 3.0 and 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
