Yes, some users observed similar behaviour and we made some investigations.
The problem is due to the fact that VPN connections (and some other
NdisWan-based connections)  invoke the NPF_Tap() function with a list of
arguments that is different from the one that the function expects. This
produces a stack corruption and a consequent blue screen. We have not found
simple workarounds at the moment, so we plan to disable the capture on the
adapters that have NdisWan as supported media. This will prevent winpcap to
open (and show) any kind of PPP connection.

Subject: [WinPcap-users] Version 3.0a4 and VPN


Hi all,

Have been testing 3.0a4 and come across an issue - if a machine makes a
PPTP VPN connection
while the driver is active, a BSOD occurs ...

Error from our Sentinel application:
STOP error 0xD1 (0xDBD, 0x2, 0x1, 0xEB752021)
Address EB752021, Base EB750000 in npf.sys

Error from windump:
STOP error 0xD1 (0xDBD, 0x2, 0x1, 0xEB742021)
Address EB742021, Base EB740000 in npf.sys

Windump prints about 10 packets before the stop occurs.

Client: 2K Pro SP3, WinPCap 3.0a4
Server: 2K Server SP3 (has WinPCap 2.3 installed, as well as MS ISA
Server) VPN configured through Windows 2000 Routing & RAS.

Has anyone else observed similar behaviour or derived a workaround?

Cheers,
-G
