[Winpcap-users] Packet32.PacketOpenAdapterNPF:CreateFileAfailedwith error 2 (file not found)

[Gianluca Varenni]

This is a known "issue" with winpcap. Due to the particular process we use to load the driver, the network cards are discovered only when the driver is loaded. The driver does not receive any notification when a new card is inserted in the system.

Have a nice day

  Hello Gianluca,

   

  You are right, I have to stop and restart the service Npf.

  I think the problem is on the NPF driver part, is it correct? Do you have any idea about the ways to solve this problem? I'm going to study how the driver works but I'm not a driver specialist!

   

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Best regards,

   

  Yann

  Have you tried either rebooting or restarting the WinPcap capture driver after having inserted the PCMCIA cards?

   

  You can restart the driver by opening a command prompt and typing

   

  "net stop start" and then "net start npf"

   

  Hope it helps

    Hi all,

     

    I work with WinPcap 4.0 beta 3 on a Dell Inspiron laptop. The OS is a Win XP Pro SP2.

    My problem is that all PCMCIA cards aren't found (error 2) by CreateFileA(), called by PacketOpenAdapterNPF() function of the source file 'Packet32.c'. I've done my tests with Sony Ericsson GC79 and Option GlobeTrotter PCMCIA cards.

     

    I've searched in the archive of the Winpcap mailing list but I've not found any explanation or solution to my problem.

    Please anyone can help me?

     

    Thanks a lot for your help,

     

    Best regards

     

    Yann
