Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to use the WinPCap libraries from Visual Basic?
I've been unable to connect to the Wpcap.dll at all (file not found error), and the
packet.dll breaks my project when I connect to it. I know I'm doing something
extremely wrong, but I'm not sure what. I'm writing an application that sits on the
bus of a cash register system in a fast food restaurant and displays orders to the
outside customers. I'm trying to listen to an older Register system that uses a
custom protocol, so I need to set the card up in promiscuous mode and receive in the
data. Once I get the raw data, I can do my own processing, filtering, and sorting.
All I need the WinPCap library to do is
1. Open the network adapter in promiscuous mode
2. Get the raw data packets and give them to my program (not save them to a file
or display them in a window
3. Close the adapter when the program is terminated.
I see on the site that the library can only be compiled in Visual C++ 6.0. We're
using Visual Studio 5.0 here, and upgrading to 6.0 is not really an option for our
project. I've already tried compiling the C++ Source in VC++ 5.0, just to see, but it
doesn't work; which is as I expected from what you said on the website.
Even if you can't help me with this, this library is a really impressive piece of work!
Thanks,
