Hi
I am using the (compiled version) 3.0 released version of winpcap with
the 0.10.10 version of ethereal (released binary) and Windows2000,
MSVC6.

The moment I use my compiled sys, dll of winpcap and restart the
ethereal, I get an error dialogue box:
Dynamic link library packet could not be found in the specified path,
followed by all the path names including system32.

--GV--
Have you tried moving the winpcap dlls in the ethereal folder?

Ethereal works well with the released winpcap. So i was curious if I
had made any error while compiling or installing winpcap.

I already have the all the tools which were required and was able to build.
1) I386\npf.sys using the DDK command prompt.
2) winpcap\wpcap\PRJ\wpcap.dll using cygwin (the .dsp compile in VC6
somehow throws a lot of errors in include and defination paths and
does not work for me both in wpcap and packet.dll)

This is because you have not installed the Microsoft platform SDK (needed to 
support IPv6)
Unfortunately, the latest platform SDK that is compatible with VC6 (Feb2003) 
is no longer available on the microsoft web site, since they released the 
new platform SDK (April2005). At the moment the only way to obtain the old 
platform SDK is have access to a MSDN subscription (or contact MS, 
maybe...).

3) packetNtx\Dll\Project\packet.dll

I was unsure how to install/use the compiled files (the mail archives
do not throw much light) so:
I then copied
1) Packet.dll, wpcap.dll to system32
--GV--
Actually, you need to copy wanpacket.dll in the system32 folder as well. 
This is needed by packet.dll (if compiled with VC6).
The wanpacket project is under packetntx\dll\wanpacket
--GV--

2) npf.sys to system32, system32\drivers.

Thanks and regards
Ankur
