SYMPTOMS

A computer running Windows NT in a source-routed Token Ring environment may stop randomly with the following blue screen STOP message:

CAUSE

This error occurs when Windows NT receives multiple address resolution protocol (ARP) request frames that contain more than the legal amount of Token Ring source routing information. This problem may occur if a source routing bridge does not discard frames with invalid routing information (RI) fields.
