[Winpcap-users] Promiscuous Mode Doesn't Work Under Vista

[Alex Johnson]

Thanks for the reply. I think you're probably right about the driver. The
adapter worked when I had XP installed, so the Vista driver is likely the
culprit. Unfortunately, there's not much I can do about that. I'll probably
have to get a new adapter that has a better Vista / custom driver.
