The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups, version 3.11
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you run the PING command before you start Windows for Workgroups version
3.11 with Microsoft TCP/IP-32, the computer hangs or reboots automatically.
WORKAROUND
==========
Start Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 and then run the PING command from the
command prompt. Microsoft TCP/IP-32 runs as a virtual device driver (VxD), which
requires Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 to be started.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the TCP/IP-32 utility. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
