Ciao winpcap gods, (always good to start a cry for help with a sign of respect, eh?)
I am trying to write a packet transmit tool using winpcap, since Msoft in their infinite unwisdom removed raw socket support from XPSP2. In order to save much time (and because pressing F7 is not hard), I decided to compile your TG and sendcap sample programs, using VC++ 6.0 (SP6). This is with Winpcap 3.0 final, btw. Running the TG program crashes (pops up the cutsie Microsoft dialog window for "Windows encountered a problem, would you like to send us a report that will never be looked at?"). That's if I actually type in the command line options for adapter and num-pkts. If I only put in the num-pkts switch and manually choose the adapter, it says "Error sending the packets", but doesn't crash. Meanwhile sendcap doesn't work either, and keeps saying Error opening the adapter. Being a good citizen I downloaded Windump (both recent versions) and tried the -D switch, and it can't run due to not being able to find an entry point pcap_dump_flush in wpacp.dll (for new windump), or entry point opterr (for old windump). I also tried it with your special packet.dll with debug info. For posterity I tried this on a different machine running XPSP1 - same results for all above. I also compiled both pktdump and netmeter and they work fine, as does Ethereal, on both machines. (of course they all receive, not send) So... am I missing something? Is there someplace I can download a compiled, working version of TG or sendcap to try out? (that would be a good addition to the developer pack, by the way - compiled executables of the samples). One machine has an Intel Pro 1000 MT, the other a Broadcom NetXtreme GigE (both on-board).
