Hi Phil,
My canned answer on the subject...
Check out this article and make sure you read the SP1 release notes. The
first article will direct you to download and install a hotfix which fixes a
problem in tcpip.sys.
Installing security update MS05-019 or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1
may cause network connectivity between clients and servers to fail:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/898060
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 898060 outlines a very specific and limited
situation where disruptions in network connectivity may be experienced after
the installation of either security update MS05-019 or Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
Specifically, the information in this article primarily applies to WAN and
LAN configurations and scenarios where routers and data-link level protocols
that have different Maximum transmission Units (MTUs) are used across the
network. In these situations, any one or more of the following symptoms may
occur:
- Inability to connect to terminal servers or to file share access.
- Failure of domain controller replication across WAN links.
- Microsoft Exchange servers cannot connect to domain controllers.
The Knowledge Base Article mentioned above provides information about a
hotfix which is now available to address these issues.
