Fatal Exception Error Using DHCP (158713)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q158713 SYMPTOMS
When you use Winipcfg.exe to release or renew IP addresses obtained using
DHCP, or when you start Windows 95 with the network adapter configured to
obtain IP addresses using DHCP, you may receive an error message similar
to the following message on a blue screen:
Fatal exception 0E at 0028:C433442B in VXD octk16.sys (01) + 0000342B.
This was called from 0028:C003C47C in VXD NDIS (01) + 00000D7C. It may
be possible to continue normally.
CAUSE
When you are using the Windows 95 DHCP client, a buffer in memory used to
send a DHCP message may be freed before the message has been completely
sent. The error occurs when the network adapter driver attempts to access
this buffer to send the information on the wire.
RESOLUTIONSTATUS
This problem no longer occurs in Windows 98. To resolve this problem, install the current version of Windows. For information about the current version of Windows, visit http://www.microsoft.com/windows.
MORE INFORMATION
The fatal exception error typically occurs in the MAC driver, although it
may also occur in NDIS itself.
This symptom may occur more frequently with Token Ring adapters using
locally administered addresses (LAAs), although it has been reported to
occur with Ethernet adapters and without using LAAs.
