receive the following error message:

network.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1. At the Windows NT Server 4.0-based computer, remove Checkpoint Firewall.
2. Copy the Tcpip.sys or Tcpip.sy_ file from the latest Windows NT 4.0 Service
Pack to the \%SystemRoot%\System32 folder.
3. If it is necessary to expand the copied file, type the following command at a
command prompt, and then press ENTER
expand sourcepath destinationpath
where sourcepath is the drive and folder where the file is located and the
name of the file, and destinationpath is the drive and folder where you want
to copy the file.
For example, type the following command to expand the Tcpip.sy_ file to the
C:\Winnt\System32 folder:
