Hi,
I am running v 0.9.12 on Win2K sp3. This is a Dell notebook with a Megahertz
CCXJEM3336 Multi-function adapter. Winpcap version 3.0 alpha. When I tried
to capture traffic I was only able to see ingress packets. After doing a lot
of digging I found the FAQ answers and usenet postings and removed the
SoftPK VPN client. Still I couldn't see egress packet. Then out of curiosity
I turned off promiscuous mode and I could see both traffic. Although I can
make this work for me, I am posting this as I haven't seen any reference to
taking promiscuous mode off to see egress traffic. Has anyone seen this
before? if you were able to fix it how did you do it?

thanks
dilan
