Hi Paul I have about 100k users using Winpcap as a low-level lib for my high level app., every now and then I receive complaints from them about not being able to detect their network adapters. The behaviour is similar to yours, in that PGANames(.) returns False/empty list. I have been asking for them to use the debug version of the Packet.dll and get me the generated winpcap_debug.txt , tcpip.reg, services.reg , npf.reg , adapters.reg. I do get some replies with these files, but I don't want to bother the Winpcap developers; being a "mediation device" between my end-users and Winpcap development, it's hard 4 me to reproduce it or answer questions on the machine setup.
Hopefully, you will be able to provide + info to Gianluca so we can fix this trouble for g00d. I can provide some samples of the above files also.
