[Winpcap-users] residual network connection with winpcap 3.1 uninstall

Uhm, WinPcap does not require any manual installation/uninstallation. 
Basically, if the NPF driver is not running, it does *not* affect the 
normal networking operation. So uninstalling WinPcap (with the normal 
uninstallation process) is the way to go.

The only weird relation I might think of is Microsoft Network Monitor 
(MS NetMon) used to capture from dialup/VPN. WinPcap enables it during 
installation, but doesn't disable it during the uninstallation.

Please try this:
1. uninstall winpcap
2. go to control panel, network connections, choose the wired (or 
wireless) network connection, properties
3. Go to the general tab, choose "Network Monitor Driver" from the list 
and hit "Uninstall".

Tell me if it works or not.

Hope it helps

Hope it'll help.
