The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS
========

Windows NT 4.0 may stop responding (hang) and generate various stop code error
messages in Netbt.sys when you connect to multiple networks with Virtual Private
Networking (VPN) ports.


To confirm that you are experiencing this problem, enable the Special Pool
feature on tag Nbt0 (0x3074624e) with overrun detection set to 0x1. With the
Special Pool feature enabled, your computer should stop responding and generate
a stop 0xA that points to an address in Netbt.sys (0xed1e5xxx last 3 digits may
vary).

   Bugcheck code 0000000A
   Arguments 0xf82bd008 0x00000002 0x00000001 0xed1e5898
