Hi Brian,
no, I didn't get any answer, I got the sound of silence on this issue. I
would have been interested at least by some hints or some tracks (which part
of the network subsystem I have have to monitor and how - registry, events)
to find out what went wrong with my config. At the end I backed up on win98
platforms to do the job, waiting for a new release of wincap to try again
with win2000.
