SYMPTOMS
Using the TRACERT command with Microsoft TCP/IP-32 does not return the correct IP name (Inverse Mapping). For example, running   tracert 130.20.7.77 should result with the following output:   plato.lc.microsoft.com.20.130.IN-ADDR.ARPA



CAUSE
TCP/IP-32 does not send a properly formatted query to a Domain Name Server (DNS).



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft TCP/IP-32 protocol. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Reference(s):

Internetworking with TCP/IP, Vol. I, by Douglas E. Comer, page 239, section 20.17 and 20.18 (information on Inverse Mappings and Pointer Queries).
