What I don't get is how packets *originating* from my machine (my IP is the source IP) would be the ones to not show up if promiscuous mode isn't allowed any more? Seems like I should stop failing to see packets where I'm neither source or dest, but I'm missing why promisc is needed for both directions of "normal" tcp packets in a regular old http transaction, for instance. Thanks! Oh, BTW, Service Pack 3 itself doesn't seem to have been the culprit, and indeed there was a later driver update that I applied that could have definitely be the offending problem. I'm doing a bisection search on the 27 security fixes tomorrow to see if I can figure out which one may have broken this :) James -- James Manning <http://www.sublogic.com/james/> GPG Key fingerprint = B913 2FBD 14A9 CE18 B2B7 9C8E A0BF B026 EEBB F6E4 ================================================================== This is the WinPcap users list.
