There are no locks shared between WinPcap and the file system drivers. I do not 
have the foggiest idea why that happens, it could be everything, really...

1.       CPU is not loaded.

2.       I'm using the Intel Pro 1000 PT desktop adapter.  also tested the GT.

3.       Traffic rate is extremely low( ~3k per sec).

4.       I'm not dumping the packets to disk.

 

I believe the key to this strange issue is why it drops frames when touching 
the file system via explorer and why it doesn't happens on xp/win7.

 

Are there any shared resources (locks?) between WinPcap driver implementation 
and vista file system? 

 

thanks,

amir.

Packets can be dropped for a number of reasons, including

- excessive CPU load on the machine

- cheap network cards and high traffic rates

- WinPcap based applications not able to keep up with the traffic rate.

 

What is the traffic rate we are talking about?

Are you dumping the packets to disk in your application?

 

Have a nice day

the phenomenon I see is that while browsing local file system, my application 
misses packets that should have been delivered, meaning per each command frame 
that is being send a response will be return but sometimes response is being 
dropped. I don't mean that the application stopped to receive anymore packets 
from that point .

 

I have capture the traffic using WireShark and verified the responses are not 
there also.

 

it happens on 3 different vista platform, we have one vista system that seems 
to works fine - we are searching for the differences.

 

this happens in WinPcap 4.0.2 and 4.1.1

 

thanks.

Amir.

There are no known issues about it.

 

Are you saying that you have a Vista machine, you are sending ethernet frames 
thru winpcap, and when you browse the local file system on that machine, your 
transmit application stops sending packets or packets are not transmitted 
properly?

 

Does it happen on one single machine or on different machines (all running 
Vista)?

 

Which version of WinPcap are you using?

 

Have a nice day

Hi,

We uses WinPcap on windows(XP, vista & 7) for transmitting raw Ethernet frames 
to control devices on a local closed network.

However we have notice that RX raw Ethernet frames are being dropped, on vista 
only, when we browse the local file system.

 

Are there any known issues regarding this mysterious phenomenon?

 

thanks, 

Amir.
