[Windump] Cant sniff

[Janne Ruohomäki]

Actually I figured out this limitation originates from crappy windows.
This is why I try to avoid M$ and stay with Real Operating Systems.
This small problem created bill of ca. 1000 euros to my client
already. Well.. Im not unhappy, because I am not the one who has to
pay. I am the one who gets paid, lucky me.

 Thanks for the virtual machine suggestion, I will try that.
