[Winpcap-users] Why does WinPCap misses the netmonitor under Vista?

[Gianluca Varenni]

NetMon 3.x is not compatible with NetMon 2.x and NPPtools which were shipped 
with 2000/XP/2003.
The only way to use NetMon 3.x within WinPcap would be to integrate WinPcap 
with the new NetMon 3.x APIs. And I'm scared of working with NetMon again: 
2.x was at best poorly documented and extremely buggy. I have no idea if the 
new one is any better. Also, you would need to install NetMon 3.x on the 
machine in order to use it. NetMon 3.x is not inbox on Vista (like it was 
for 2000/XP).

Have a nice day
