[Winpcap-bugs] ver 4.0.1 PacketReceivePacket failed

[Neal Brannon]

WinPcap version: 4.0.1
Running on Win2000 sp4 all current patches
This is a small business system Intel Pentium 4D (dual core) 3Ghz,  4 GB
memory
Intel NIC integrated on motherboard

The adapters reported on the PC are:
[16:03:23] AttachToNIC... adapter[1: \Device\NPF_GenericDialupAdapter]
desc(Adapter for generic dialup and VPN capture)
[16:03:23] AttachToNIC... adapter[2:
\Device\NPF_{E3146433-CFBD-49B7-9C41-186DCA453D16}] desc(Intel(R) PRO/1000
PM Network Connection)

I'm using the second adapter.
I'm connected to a broadband cable network connection and I'm not seeing any
problems with that.

I have been running WinPcap 3.1 for 6 months with no problems until I
installed a second video adapter; I now have 2 adapters: ATI x1300 PCIe and
ATI x1300 PCI.  After installing the second video adapter, I starting
getting 2-3 bugchecks a day.  I checked the BSOD and the software described
was NPF.sys ver 3.1.0.27.  I browsed the Web looking for similar problems
and found a similar problem reported some time ago.  I decided to upgrade
WinPcap to a newer version.  This morning I completely uninstalled WinPcap
version 3.1 and installed WinPcap 4.01 from your web site. I recompiled my
app with the 4.01 libraries.

My app will now only run for 2-3 minutes (reading several thousand packets)
before getting a WinPcap error which says:

	read error: PacketReceivePacket failed

After this error is reported, all following WinPcap reads will fail, UNTIL I
REBOOT the PC.

My app in built using MS C++ 6.0;  I am still using the WinPCap 3.1
API...for example: I use

	pcap_open_live with a buffer size of 65535 and a timeout of 1000ms.


thanks for your help,
