3.1<br>needs this driver to capture from PPP-style interfaces, though one of<br>its dependent DLLs always tries to start it. Not sure about older or<br>newer versions.)<br><br>But: Is there a reason you're using the packet.dll
functions? Those<br>are not necessarily going to be kept compatible in the future. If you<br>don't need packet.dll specific stuff, then it's much better to use<br>wpcap.dll (the libpcap-style interface), because that *will* remain
