CONF: Hotsite: TCP/IP Fails with Error PR00022 During Boot

PSS ID Number: Q112580

Article Last Modified on 11-11-1999

• Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2b

Symptoms

On boot, a LAN Manager 2.2b OS/2 server fails with this error:

PRO0022: UNSPECIFIED FAILURE in binding CLIENT to TCPIP_XIF

Cause

An OS/2 server running TCP/IP may fail if it is accessed by another client during the boot process, because the server's TCP/IP stack is too busy dealing with numerous SYNs from the client to bind.

Resolution

A fix to this problem is in development, but it has not been regression tested and may be destabilizing in production environments. Microsoft does not recommend implementing this fix at this time. Contact Microsoft Product Support Services for information on availability.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE BEHAVIOR

1. Set up a TCP/IP-only server with LAN Manager 2.2b



2. Have six or more other machines execute this command in a loop:

         net use v: \\server\share ; net use v: /d 




3. Reboot the OS/2 server.

1. workstation --(SYN)-----> server



2. workstation --(SYN)-----> server



3. workstation --(SYN)-----> server



4. server -------(ARP)------> Broadcast



5. workstation---(SYN)-----> server



6. server--------(ARP)------> Broadcast



7. workstation---(ARP REPLY)> server



8. server--------(RESET ACK)> workstation
