[WinPcap-users] 3.1beta - WanPacket vs Adapter selecteability

[{Pedro Lucas-Suporte Netcount}]

Hello   Up to Winpcap 2.3, I've been using Ndiswan as the adapter to be opened for all users of my tool that require packet measurements via PPPoE (ADSL users) or Ethernet (Cable users). I am using Packet.lib directly, and not wpcap.lib, and Windows XP.   Unfortunately, some of my users keep regretting that they cannot not see Ndiswan as a "selecteable" adapter, even with after trials like those in http://winpcap.polito.it/misc/dialup.htm . In spite of that, all of them can see an adapter called "WAN (PPP/SLIP) interface", but that adapter failed to open.   As I have observed, for 3.1beta, Winpcap development team is + committed to support WAN access. I already compiled errored free my tool with WanPacket.cpp and WanPacket.h, and I am now proceeding to kind-of duplicate my code for LAN/WAN by using the new API.   My question is simple:   a) WAN users that have a selecteable adapter called "WAN (PPP/SLIP) interface" after establishing an ADSL session (all have), will they be able to open it with the API call WanPacketOpenAdapter(...) ? Or b) Is it that Ndiswan (\Device\Packet_NdisWanIpNdisWan ? ) must continue to show up as a selecteable adapter for WanPacketOpenAdapter( ) to work ???     Meanwhile, count me as an intermediate tester w/ a lot of users that will start testing the WanPacket services for 3.1beta by middle March.   Thanx a Lot for Winpcap !
