WARNING:
you must uninstall older versions (see Q-2
in the FAQ to know how) and reboot the system before installing the new ones, otherwise WinPcap
could not work properly.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
sometimes, when uninstalling WinPcap version 2.02 or older from the
control panel's network applet in Windows 9x, the file Windows\Packet.dll
is not deleted. You must delete this file manually, otherwise newer
versions will not work properly and could cause system crashes.

Transparent installation
This file installs WinPcap silently, without making the
installation screen appearing and without any user intervention.
This installer is
useful particularly for applications of programs and tools that
require WinPcap to run, and that want to install WinPcap during
their "master" installation process. There is a drawback,
however: in such a way, the user does not know that WinPcap has been
installed; therefore it cannot ask assistance to WinPcap guys in
case of problems.

although the installation does not ask to do so.

WinPcap for Windows CE
The source code of a CE version of WinPcap.
 |
WinPcap for
Windows CE
|
NOTES:
- This is an experimental version, we don't guarantee it will
work correctly in any situation.
- At the moment only source code is provided. You will
have to compile it on your own.
- We didn't develop this code, so we don't provide any
support for it.
- This version might not be aligned with the latest
version of WinPcap.
|
The CE version was tested successfully (not by us) on Compaq
Pocket PC and HP Jornada.
Known limitations:
- The driver can be used to open only one adapter that is
present in the system. not more than one adapter can be opened
at any given point of time. Also, only one instance of the
adapter can be opened.
- Statistics mode is not present.
- Only one request at a time is supported, requests are not
queued.
- It works on Windows CE 3.0. may work on CE 2.x also but it was
never tested.
