[Winpcap-users] ANNOUNCE: WinPcap 4.0 beta2 has been released

Guten Morgen,

disregard my question about WinDump's display speed. Reading the
documentation usually helps quite a bit. :-)

Regards,
Alto

GV> Hi,


GV>> WinPcap 4.0 beta2 is available as of today in the download section of
GV>> the WinPcap website, http://www.winpcap.org/install/.

GV> Taking the occasion, I performed some new test with Etherall/Wireshark
GV> to see whether my crash-problems would be gone with this version of
GV> WinPCap.

GV> In short: They are not. But they've changed.

GV> I installed WinPCap v4/b2 over v3.1/b4 (no reboot) and tried the
GV> already installed Ethereal v0.10.14. As usual, the first capture
GV> start-stop worked. On the second, however, the program failed to show
GV> any packets, and then wasn't able to stop at all (Stop-button still
GV> enabled, Start-button hidden). But it didn't freeze as before.

GV> So I thought that maybe the error that I'm seeing would be caught in
GV> the new version and would no longer lead to the crashs. So I updated
GV> Ethereall to Wireshark v0.99.3. On starting this one no interfaces
GV> were detected. Which was not all that surprising since I still had not
GV> rebooted after updating WinPCap.

GV> After rebooting I startet Wireshark again: First capture start-stop,
GV> ok. Second start - Freeze.

GV> I then installed WinPCap v3.1/beta 4 again and again started
GV> Wireshark. Surprise: now it worked.



GV> I therefore dare say that the problem is not with Ethereal/Wireshark
GV> but indeed with WinPCap itself. I sure could use some help in
GV> troubleshooting.
