| Source | Winsock |
| Description | Invalid Ethernet packet in use. |
| Event Information | According to Microsoft: EXPLANATION: A routing failure has occurred. The local network system might generate this error if there is no default route configured. Typically, though, WinSock generates this error when it receives a "host unreachable" ICMP message from the router. The ICMP message means that a router cannot forward the IP datagram, possibly because it did not get a response to the ARP request (which might mean the destination host is down). USER ACTION: Check the client network configuration to confirm that the selected frame type matches the frame type used by servers on the local network. If the problem continues, review the local router configuration for packet-length settings, or use a packet analysis tool to further investigate packet framing that is currently in effect on the network. You can also try to ping the destination host, to see if you get the same results (chances are, you will). Check the destination address. Check whether you have a router configured in your network system (your WinSock implementation). Use the tracert command at the command prompt to try to determine where the failure occurs along the route between your host and the destination host. Investigate routers on local or remote networks to see that they are active and properly configured. |
