SUMMARY

A TDI Client Calling ZwCreateFile on \device\atalkddp must specify a protocol number.

MORE INFORMATION

Passing in \device\atalkddp to ZwCreateFile produces an error. You must specify a protocol number as follows:

   \device\atalkddp\0  for DDP protocol
   \device\atalkddp\2  for NBP protocol
   \device\atalkddp\3  for ATP protocol
   \device\atalkddp\7 for ADSP protocol

WinObj shows the device as \device\atalkddp. It is not trivial to discover these device names.
