Q168747

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95
 * Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release, versions 1, 2, 2.1

SYMPTOMS
On a computer running Microsoft Windows 95 (all releases) using the Microsoft TCP/IP protocol, the following error message may occur when certain data is received over the network:

Fatal exception 0E at 0028: in VxD MSTCP(01) + 000041AE.

This was called from 0028: in VxD NDIS(01) + 00000D7C.

After this error message occurs, the computer may not receive further network data until Windows is restarted.

CAUSE
This error message can occur if certain, very specific, "out-of-band" data packets are deliberately sent to the server during a TCP/IP session.

 * Vtcp.386 version 4.00.0954 (dated 05/20/97) and later
 * Vnbt.386 version 4.00.0959 (dated 05/15/97) and later
