SYMPTOMS
There may be a 20 second delay in keystrokes and mouse movements when you
are running Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 with TCP/IP-32. This delay
may be repeated at intervals of 5 to 10 minutes.
This problem occurs when TCP/IP is NOT the default protocol, and the Enable
LMHOSTS Lookup check box is selected in Network Setup.
After your computer stops responding (hangs) for approximately 20 seconds,
the following message appears:
DOS Error 53: The computer name specified in the network path cannot be
located.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, make TCP/IP the default protocol.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in TCP/IP-32. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
