Uhm, do you refer do WinPcap 3 beta 1 released in February 2003???
[Steeve] Yes :)

So your app is compiled against the 3.1 devpack, and it crashes on every 
machine where WinPcap 3.1 is installed?
[Steeve] Yes :)

Uhm, I seriously doubt so. There are no breaking changes in the API that 
would cause such problems (and in any case you cannot have such issues if 
you use devpack 3.1 *with* winpcap 3.1). Which API are you using? pcap or 
Packet?
[Steeve] Uhm, I'd assume it is pcap (I'm including pcap.h) :)

Are you able to debug the issue (or at least have a trace) on the faulting 
machines, and understand exactly which function is crashing?

[Steeve] Nope :( Microsoft Dr Watson instantly takes over my app...

I double checked on the server, and they are the proper ones.

[Steeve] Ok... :(
[Steeve] I'm just wondering if it could not be caused by some left-overs
from the beta1 that causes final wpcap.dll to crash internally :)

Have a nice day
