- 1.0 Introduction
- -----------------
- This release of the Windows NT 3.1 Update contains all the components that
- have been fixed since the original release of Windows NT 3.1 and
- Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1. The Update is easy to apply from within
- Windows NT and changes only those files that were originally set up on the
- Windows NT or Windows NT Advanced Server system. Subsequent Update releases
- will be cumulative: they will contain all previous fixes, as well as any new
- fixes made to the system.
-
-
-
- 2.0 Installation Instructions for the Windows NT Update Utility
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- Running Update from a floppy disk:
- 1. Insert Update Disk 1 into the floppy drive.
- 2. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, change to that floppy drive (that is,
- A: or B:) and type UPDATE.
- 3. Follow the instructions given on the screen.
-
- Running Update from a CD-ROM:
- 1. Insert the Update CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM drive.
- 2. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, change to that CD-ROM drive, then
- change to the i386 or MIPS directory (depending upon whether you have
- an Intel or MIPS CPU), and type UPDATE.
- 3. Follow the instructions given on the screen.
-
- Running Update from a network drive:
- 1. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, type the command to connect to the
- network drive on which the Update files reside.
- 2. Change to that network drive and type UPDATE.
- 3. Follow the instructions given on the screen.

- 2.1 User Notes
- ---------------
- Emergency Repair Diskette
-
- If it is necessary to use the Windows NT Emergency Repair Diskette to
- repair your Windows NT system at some time after you apply the Update,
- you will need to re-apply the Update after the repair is completed.
- This is because the Emergency Repair Diskette repairs your system by
- restoring your original Windows NT setup. After the repair has
- completed, simply follow the above Installation Instructions to re-apply
- the Update.
-
-
- Adding New Components to the System
-
- If new software or hardware components are changed or added to your
- system after you have applied the Update, it will be necessary to
- re-apply the Update. This is necessary since the files taken from
- the original Windows NT disk set may not be equivalent to the files
- on the Update disk set.
-
-
- Configuring the NWLink Transport
-
- When configuring the NWLink transport using the Network option in Control
- Panel, you must enter the Network Number as a hexadecimal value rather
- than as a decimal value as stated in the Help file.
-
-
- Command Reference Colors
-
- Some commands in the Command Reference (NTCMDS.HLP) list of commands are
- not visible if a user's system colors are set to Window Text = white and
- Window Background = black. Change your Windows Background to a lighter
- color to see all commands in the list.

- 2.2 Bugs Fixed in the Windows NT Update
- ----------------------------------------
- Bug # 766 Multiple NE3200 cards in MIPS cause system failure.
- Description of bug:
- When you install multiple NE3200s in a MIPS DUO machine,
- the machine will hang while loading services and will become completely
- unusable. You cannot run anything that has a reliance on a service (i.e.,
- eventvwr, rdr, srv, control panel->devices, control panel->services, etc.).
- Component(s) affected:
- elnk16.sys
- elnkmc.sys
- lance.sys
- ndis.sys
- ne3200.sys
- hal*.dll
-
-
- Bug # 786 Services For Macintosh: Mac Passwords with lower-case extended
- characters don't work correctly.
- Description of bug:
- If a Mac client changes its password on a Windows NT Advanced Server and
- uses a lower-case extended character, logons to the domain from a Windows NT
- client with that password will subsequently fail. Using an upper-case
- extended character, the user will be able to log on to the domain correctly.
- Component(s) affected:
- sfmsrv.sys
-
-
- Bug # 793 Proteon driver loses pending requests.
- Description of bug:
- The problem was that the driver did not wait for the last step of card
- initialization (enabling the transmitter) to complete before telling the
- system that it was done. On a very fast machine, a transport (e.g., NBF)
- could be loaded before the transmitter finished enabling (this can take over
- a second). This would cause the card not to properly enable, so it would
- not transmit.
- Component(s) affected:
- proteon.sys
-
-
- Bug # 826 Format fails with "error writing partition table."
- Description of bug:
- SETUP will fail when formatting a partition on some machines.

- Bug # 862 NTLDR Error message "IoAllocateAdapterChannel: Adapter in use"
- Description of bug:
- NTLDR prints
-
- "IoAllocateAdapterChannel: called while Adapter in use"
-
- 40-50 times while reading the disk during the loading of the system. This
- only occurs on two large disk systems (24 drives on 4 channel SCSI
- controller). It appears smaller systems (13 and 3 drives) do not show this
- problem. System appears to boot OK, just the annoying message.
- Component(s) affected:
- ntldr
-
-
- Bug # 870 PortUAS should have Ctrl+C handler to restore user modals.
- Description of bug:
- The PortUAS app sets the user modals (such as minimum password length, and
- password history) to temporary values while the application is running, and
- then sets them to their final values at the end of the run. If the admin
- hits ^C (Control+C), the temporary values are left in effect.
- Component(s) affected:
- portuas.exe
-
-

- Bug # 1123 UPS service does not shut down Windows NT after expected battery
- life.
- Description of bug:

- to the computer, the user must specify the expected battery life and the
- charge rate for the battery. When the battery life drops to 2 minutes, the
- file specified in the "Execute command file" field should be executed and
- Windows NT should then shut down. This file is never run and a shutdown of
- Windows NT never occurs. What happens instead is that, when the expected
- battery life time is reached, the UPS service terminates.
- Component(s) affected:
- ups.exe

-
- Bug # 1131 TCP corrupts data if reserved bits in header are set.
- Description of bug:
- There is a potential for data corruption in TCP. There are six bits in the
- TCP header that are reserved and are supposed to be zero. If two of these
- bits are set in a data-bearing segment, TCP will miscalculate the data
- offset by up to three bytes and possibly corrupt the data. Most stacks,
- however, do not set these bits.
- Component(s) affected:
- tcpip.sys
-
-
- Bug # 1135 NBF can disconnect WFW 3.11 RAS clients incorrectly.
