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. > > So has anybody else encountered this?

Could somebody on the list > perhaps do a quick build of that for me? I'd be much obliged. Why the DDK? You don't need the DDK to compile packet.dll, you need VC6 plus the platform sdk.
