Hi Ed.
Sorry for the delay in the answer.
As Guy Harris replied, and as written on the WinPcap web page, the Packet.dll API is subject to change (including the removal of APIs) between different versions
http://winpcap.polito.it/docs/docs31beta4/html/group__packetapi.html
The best suggestion I can give you is to port your code to the pcap API, which guarantees backwards compatibility.
Have a nice day GV

Subject: [WinPcap-users] PacketGetNetInfo function has been removed from winpcap?
Dear Winpcap team:
We have been using Winpcap for awhile to provide our customers with a demo of Treck TCP, a Win32 port of our embedded TCP/IP Internet protocol products, which normally does not run on top of MS-Windows but instead runs in an embedded system with or without a RTOS. Our Win32 Treck demo (http://www.treck.com/TreckDemo.zip) works fine with winpcap versions 2.3, 3.0 and 3.01.a (and probably other versions). However, I just tried running our Win32 Treck demo with the latest version of winpcap (3.1 beta 4), and it crashes because you have removed the function PacketGetNetInfo and it appears added a new function PacketGetNetInfoEx in its place. Can you please keep the old function PacketGetNetInfo when you add the new function PacketGetNetInfoEx, that way you are backwards-compatible with earlier versions of winpcap (and then won't break other applications that call the older winpcap API PacketGetNetInfo)?
Thanks. - Ed Remmell
