RE: Installing WinPcap for Windows XP

Hi!

I don't know which inffile you exactly need, but under
http://winpcap.polito.it/301a/download.htm

You find a complete Installer for XP.

Alternative:
You can use a Programm callet Packetyzer
http://www.networkchemistry.com/products/packetyzer/

It uses the "same" engine as ethereal, but is much more comfortable (for a
windows user) to handle.
As far as I can remember it auto installs the winpcap driver.

I hope that could help.

Subject: Installing WinPcap for Windows XP

I'm trying to run Ethereal so I can see what's going on with my modem.  I've
tried to install WinPcap as I have been told I'm supposed to but I've not
been able to find the .inf file to install a driver like it was reported I
need to do.  I've  looked on Google and at WinPcaps webpage to try to find
out if there may be any thing that I've missed, but from what I've looked
at, everything appears to be installed correctly, but it isn't working. 
 
Thanks in advance,
