[Winpcap-bugs] Adapter not showing up

[Chris Covington]

Still nothing unfortunately:

 

Here are the error messages from "net start npf" depending on the
registry value:

 

--

The system cannot find the file specified:

 

\systemroot\system32\drivers\npf.sys

system32\drivers\npf.sys

 

--

The system cannot find the path specified:

 

%systemroot%\system32\drivers\npf.sys

\windows\system32\drivers\npf.sys

\%systemroot%\system32\drivers\npf.sys

C\\\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\npf.sys

 

--

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect:

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\npf.sys

"\systemroot\system32\drivers\npf.sys"

"\%systemroot%\system32\drivers\npf.sys"

"C:\windows\system32\drivers\npf.sys"

Pretty weird.

 

Please try this: open the registry and modify the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NPF\ImagePath to
"\systemroot\system32\drivers\npf.sys"

 

Then try "net start npf" again.

 

Have a nice day

	Ok.

	 

	Please check that the file "npf.sys" is available under
c:\windows\system32\drivers. If it's there, I need to know the date,
size and version.

	 

	Have a nice day

		Chris, 

		 

		please try this:

		 

		1. open the registry with regedit.exe

		2. go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NPF\Enum. 

		3. Delete the key named "INITSTARTFAILED".

		4. Reboot the machine

		5. open a command line and execute "net start npf", and
tell me the result.

		 

		Have a nice day

		GV

			I have installed WinPcap and rebooted
(downloaded and tried both versions on the winpcap.org page and the one
included with nmap - same results), but my ethernet adapter is not
listed:

			 

			C:\>windump -D

			1.\Device\NPF_GenericDialupAdapter (Generic
dialup adapter)

			 

			There should be a Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet
adapter listed.  I have also tried installing the latest version of the
Broadcom driver.  Also, npf_mgm -r works, but npf_mgm -s gives an error:
Error starting service NPF:The system cannot find the file specified.  I
am running this as a user in the administrators group.

			 

			WinPcap: v3.1 (also tried with nmap version and
the 4.0 alpha version)

			OS: XP SP2 Professional

			Network Adapters Installed on System: Broadcom
NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet (bcm57xx), VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter
for VMnet1 (virtual), VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter for VMnet8
(virtual)

			 

			Any ideas?

			 

			Thanks!

			Chris
