SYMPTOMS
========

When you load TINYRFC (which is part of the TCP/IP 1.0 stack for MS-DOS
clients), you may get the following error:

  NET0133: Badly Formed IP Address

CAUSE
=====

This error is caused by a corrupt LMHOSTS file.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, create a new LMHOSTS file or strip the corrupt entries
out of the original LMHOSTS file. Quite often, the corruption can be stripped
from the LMHOSTS file by simply deleting the End Of File (EOF) marker.
