[Winpcap-users] Problems with running WinPCap on a virtual PC

[Mark Pizzolato - WinPCap-Users]

Hi Jens,

You fail to mention the what OS the host is running, AND what Virtualization software you are using.   You also don't mention what MAC address you are using as the source MAC address in your outgoing packets.  Specifically, is the source MAC address being used the same as the MAC address which the virtual network adapter is using?

Provide details and I'll try to explain what is happening and what you may need to do.
