Hi.

You are right, there's a bug in packet.dll under NTx that causes winpcap
3.1beta2 to show that message if TCP/IP is removed from the machine. I've
corrected that bug in our source tree, and it be available in winpcap beta3,
that will be released in a week.

Why the DDK? You don't need the DDK to compile packet.dll, you need VC6 plus
the platform sdk.

Have a nice day
