I have just upgraded my laptop to Win2000 (my first exposure to this
OS) and when I try to start a ethereal capture, I see no network
adaptors in the pull-down menu.
I thought, at first, that it was because the OS came up without
registering the PCMCIA network adaptor, so I stopped and then
restarted the card. However, I find that it is working right from the
boot-up.
Does anyone have a troubleshooting scenario that I can use to
diagnose, and then fix, this problem?
After a number of attempts, I have been successful in getting WinPcap to
recognize my PCMCIA NIC.
I believe that the problem was that when I was installing the various
versions, having removed the previous ones (I believed) via Software
Add/Remove, I was queried is I wanted to replace DLLs with older ones.
I had been answering no. Somehow M$ seemed to have forgotten that
packets.dll, etc, were part of WinPcap, so they didn't remove, or even
OFFER to remove, several DLLs. Once I answered "Yes" to the overwrite
query, everything became copasetic.
Gimme unix, everytime!
