SYMPTOMS
========

After you quit a program (such as Network Monitor, from the Microsoft Systems
Management Server CD-ROM) that resets the network adapter to turn off
Promiscuous mode, the network adapter's registers for the multicast address
appear to be cleared. A query to NDIS for OID_802_3_MULTICAST_LIST results in
NDIS returning an empty list. However, the proper address list is actually still
present in the network adapter and the empty list is being returned incorrectly.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0. For
