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

[Jens Munk]

Carlos, Mark,

Sorry about that. The host PC is a Windows 7 64 bit professional, and 
the virtualization is Microsoft's Windows Virtual PC with WinXP. More 
specifically, it is the "Windows XP Mode with Virtual PC" package you 
can download directly from Microsoft:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

MAC addresses of virtual and physical network adapters: I was unaware 
that they would be different, and I would have to investigate this. 
However, should the virtualization machine take care of this?

Thanks again. I really hope you can help me with this one,

Jens.


Jens,
what virtualization engine are you using to run the VM ?

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?
