Re: Second try nmap help with XP

["Rag. Travagliante Roberto" <travagliante () comune potenza it>]

WinPCap has stopped RAW Packet's support for PPP Connections since
version 3.0 beta, because it caused many OS crash (blue screens).
> From WinPCap ChangeLog:

"NdisWan support:
  a.. due to the large number of messages reporting problems (blue screens)
with VPNs, PPTP and such connections, we have disabled the support for
NdisWan adapters. As a consequence, it is not possible to capture from PPP
(neither NdisWanIp, nor NdisWanBh, nor NdisWanBfIn/Out...). At the moment we
have no plans to fix the problem with VPNs, PPTP, PPP unless we get a
generous sponsorship."
I hope that this problem will be solved very soon, but I think that at the
moment
you can use WinPCap 3.0 alpha 4 (also if this is a not stable version).
This is the link:
http://windump.polito.it/misc/bin/3.0alpha4-WinPcap.exe

Please, let me know if it runs correctly (over PPP Connections).

Bye.
Roberto
