Are you sure you are picking the right interface? Have a nice day GV
From: Imre Magyar Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2010 2:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Winpcap-users] winpcap not capturing anything I was under the impression that using -1 will minimize packet reception latency. In any case, I changed it to 1000 but the problem remains. The app works just fine on one PC but fails to capture anything on another. Both interfaces are normal wired interfaces, and both PCs have the same version of winpcap installed. --IM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gianluca Varenni Sent: Monday, March 22, 2010 4:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Winpcap-users] winpcap not capturing anything Is there any specific reason why you are putting a read timeout of "-1". I would definitely try with something like 1000 and see if you receive packets in this case.

I'm opening the interface as such: if ( (adhandle= pcap_open( d->name, // name of the device 1024 * 4, // max bytes to capture 0, // could be PCAP_OPENFLAG_PROMISCUOUS -1, // read timeout 0, // auth struct errbuf // error buffer ) ) == NULL) { fprintf(stderr,"\nUnable to open the adapter. %s is not supported by WinPcap\n", d->name); /* Free the device list */ pcap_freealldevs(alldevs); return 0; } Thank-you, I.M.

What parameters are you using with pcap_open? Have a nice day GV From: Imre Magyar Sent: Sunday, March 21, 2010 6:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Winpcap-users] winpcap not capturing anything Hello all, I've spent a couple weeks trying to figure this out on my own, but to no avail and no amount of searching seems to help me find answers, so I'm hoping somebody out there can help. I have a Windows .Net application that uses multiple managed Visual C++ DLLs, one of which interfaces to winpcap. The program model is fairly simple; upon entry to the DLL I open the interface with pcap_open(), spawn a separate thread to repeatedly call pcap_next_ex() while the main thread returns to managed context to continue the main application thread. The problem is that pcap_next_ex() never manages to see a single packet. Running wireshark on the same interface simultaneously verifies that the packets are on the wire, but I never see a single one. But it gets stranger, because everything works fine on some Windows PCs (all running XP) yet this happens reliably on others. If I take the DLL code and change it such that it's run as a standard standalone WIN32 application, everything works perfectly, so I think that the problem isn't winpcap itself, just something having to do with the .net application contexts. So at the risk of asking about something that is obvious to everyone else, could someone please help me with some ideas as to what's going on? Thank-you! --Imre M. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Winpcap-users mailing list [email protected] https://www.winpcap.org/mailman/listinfo/winpcap-users -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Winpcap-users mailing list [email protected] https://www.winpcap.org/mailman/listinfo/winpcap-users -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Winpcap-users mailing list [email protected] https://www.winpcap.org/mailman/listinfo/winpcap-users
