[Winpcap-bugs] Undetectable hardware (I think...)

[Gianluca Varenni]

I think you hit UAC (User Account Control).
You need to open the cmd line with elevated privileges (i.e. right-clicking on the cmd line link and choosing "Run as administrator") otherwise you don't have enough privileges to start the winpcap kernel driver.

Same for any WinPcap-based software. After the first application starts the driver (by running it with elevated privileges), you don't need elevated privileges until the next reboot. A workaround to this is to set the driver to automatically start at boot time. Please follow the directions in this FAQ

Hope it helps

  WinPcap version: 4.0.2
  Output of windump -D:  Nothing at all (See attached file "picture.jpg").
  OS: Windows Vista Business x86
  Network Adapters: Two on-board.
  NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller
  NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller #2  (names taken from Device Manager)
  Motherboard is an EVGA Nforce 680I motherboard.
  No special networking software that I can think ok. I have Free AVG Anti-virus installed.

  The problem is that the software I'm tyring to use that uses the WinPcap library isn't working (MSN Webcam Recorder). windump -D nor the MSN Webcam Recorder doesn't see my hardware.
