BUG: NetBIOS Find Name Does Not Work for IPX/SPX and NetBEUI

 * }

Q137916

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK), version 4.0

-

SYMPTOMS
If an application does a NetBIOS find name (NCBFINDNAME) on a LANA that corresponds to the NetBEUI protocol, the command fails and the error code returned is 0x03 (Invalid command).

If the LANA number corresponds to the IPX/SPX protocol, then although a valid FIND_NAME_BUFFER is returned, all the fields are set to zero.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION
Using the LANA number that corresponds to the TCP/IP protocol returns expected results.
