SYMPTOMS
========

After you upgrade from Windows NT version 3.1 to Windows NT version 3.5, the
following message appears in Event Viewer:

  Event ID: 8006
  Source: SRV

  Description: The browser has received an illegal datagram from the
  remote computer <computer name> to name <domain name> on transport
  Nbf_Elnk31. The data is the datagram.

This problem occurs when an illegally formed Netlogon frame is received from the
client computer. Windows NT version 3.5 correctly identifies the illegal frame
and reports it in the System Log.

- Upgrade to LAN Manager 2.2c or later.

- Upgrade to Network Client version 3.0 for MS-DOS (available from the Windows
  NT Server version 3.5 CD).
