Symptoms

Assume that you try to connect to a firewall device by using Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) on a Windows 8-based or a Windows Server 2012-based client computer. You create the PPTP connection successfully and an IP address is assigned to the computer. However, you cannot access the resources behind the firewall.For example, you connect to a Juniper SSG firewall by using the Junos Pulse 3.1. Then, you try to access the resources behind the Juniper SSG firewall. In this situation, you cannot access the resources successfully.

Cause

This issue occurs because WanARP sends NDIS_OID_REQUEST structures by using an uninitialized port number to miniport drivers. Therefore, the WanARP protocol driver that binds to the miniport driver does not set a Packet Filter on the miniport bindings. This occurs if the miniport is one of the following Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) versions:

  • NDIS 5.0.

  • NDIS 6.3 that has the following flag set: NDIS_MINIPORT_ATTRIBUTES_NO_OID_INTERCEPT_ON_NONDEFAULT_PORTS.

Note The incoming packets that are received at the miniport driver are not delivered to the protocol driver.

Resolution

File information

The global version of this hotfix installs files that have the attributes that are listed in the following tables. The dates and the times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The dates and the times for these files on your local computer are displayed in your local time together with your current daylight saving time (DST) bias. Additionally, the dates and the times may change when you perform certain operations on the files.

Windows RT, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012 file information notesImportant Windows 8 hotfixes and Windows Server 2012 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, only "Windows 8" is listed on the Hotfix Request page. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 8" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:

    Version

    Product

    Milestone

    Service branch

    6.2.920 0.16 xxx

    Windows RT, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012

    RTM

    GDR

    6.2.920 0.20 xxx

    Windows RT, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012

    RTM

    LDR

  • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows RT, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintain the state of the updated components. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
