The following error may occur in the event log when a logical link
connection (LLC) entity receives an invalid data unit:

  Nbf received an unexpected FRMR packet from a remote computer.

FRMR is the Frame Reject frame sent by the NetBEUI Frames (NBF) LLC
layer when one of the following conditions causes a data unit to
become invalid:

- Invalid sequence number

- Invalid presence of an information field

- Maximum allowable length for an LLC data unit is exceeded

These errors cannot be corrected by retransmission. In response to the
FRMR frame, the workstation sends a Disconnect (DISC) command to
terminate the link connection. The workstation may then reestablish
the connection.
