SYMPTOMS

You have a computer that is running a non-English version of Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista. A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) application uses the IP Helper API to collect Management Information Base (MIB) interface information. However, the information is not displayed correctly. Instead, the information is blank or incomplete.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the IP Helper API module (IpHlpAPI.dll) cannot copy MIB information when multibyte words are present in the source information.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
