Mac> The packet filter is a device driver..." 

Mac> Is my thinking correct?  (The following covers my further questions for both

Mac> of the packet driver file and why didn't my computer recognize that this file

Mac> The basic questions here involving WinPcap are for WinPcap users.  But if

Mac> Sorry, if my questions trouble anyone; but thanks in advance for your help.

Mac> Pat, using the e-mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mac> P.S.: I can receive e-mail using the e-mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED] at least
