<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">GV, I
want to make some minor changes in the Packet code. That is why I want to
recompile it. This is an open source project and folks just should be able to
try things out right? I have timing/synchronization issues on a high
performance system and I am curious about what is going on at this low level.
I have put in some callbacks in packet that are made during the spinning to
wait between packets sent to let me know what is going on. Basically I am
using a Quad core system that has different processes running on different
cores. I am trying to see what each core is up to at any one time. These low
lever routines are being used by several upper level applications. If one
thread (above) is being stalled then I am wondering if another stack of
packets could be sent. This is not the whole story but it is what I am
exploring. It should be ok to experiment with this project, right?</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><FONT

WinPcap (actually installing it) is a major pain in the neck, and I thought you
were just trying to build a WinPcap based application. To simplify your job,
when you are experimenting you can safely keep packet.dll and wpcap.dll in the
same folder where you have your application (that's what I do during
development).</FONT></DIV>

strange. I am using Visual Studio 2005 on both the XP box and the Vista

<DIV>Well, if I install the Wdpcap exe, and it installs a Packet.dll in the
Windoes\System - or SysWOW64 directory, it can be found and runs. But when I
build my own Packet dll in Win32 or 64 bit and put both in Windows System or
SysWOW64, the Vista cannot "see" or load them. Whne I rename mine to
Packet.dll_mine and rename the one installed by the Wdpcap installer to
Packet.dll, everything is fine. By the way, under XP Pro, my Packet dll
loads and runs fine. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Something is preventing a debug version to load under Vista. Anyone
else having this problem and have a solution?</DIV>
