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

[Torsten Jaekel]

Yes, I think this is right:
if I use WInPCAP on Vista and start my program as regular user
(independent if my account has Admin rights) I do not see any adapters.
Only "Run as administrator" gives me the list. Funny: second time I can
start the same program without admin and the adapters are there.

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.
