Hi Daniel!
Thank you for your quick response. :)
I am still reading about winpcap and I am accommodating with the terms & concepts.
Sorry about that!
 
My intention is to build a personal firewall but only for a LAN netcard (I have read about the leak of PPP standardisation but that is not a problem for me). There are some other reasons for I can't build a firewall?

You read the docs bad :)
 
WinPcap cannot filter data, so can't do a firewall (if it did, you'd have to add the support for dialup, since winpcap doesn't work with with PPP).
WinPcap is quite popular, have seen it in commercial apps...the ones that are most useful to me is Ethereal and Nmap (those are not really commercial, just widely used).

Hi!
I'm very new in winpcap world. have read some docs about it and I already have few newby questions in mind.
First is: it is winpcap capable to support a successfull development of a windows personal firewall?
and the 2nd: there is a way and it is recomanded to develop commercial applications based on winpcap? A fair answer will be greatly appreciated.
 
Thank you in advance
