SYMPTOMS
Windows NT 3.51 sends "Routing Information Protocol over IPX" (RIPX)
updates to routers but the routers fail to update the Routing Information
Protocol (RIP) table. If a router receives a RIPX response for a network
with a hop (tick) count, and then receives another RIPX response with a new
hop (tick) count, it should update the routing table with this information.
NOTE: You need to have Remote Access Service (RAS) installed with NWLink
in order to send or receive RIPX packets from Windows NT 3.51.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, upgrade to Windows NT 3.51 (if you have not
already done so) and install the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT
version 3.51.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51.
This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows
NT version 3.51. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on
