Network Adapter Detection Fails

(1/2) > >>

britefire:

On: XP SP2
Using:
URL Snooper v2.22.01
and
WinPcap Version 4.1.0.1237,

With: File> Advanced mode - checked,

Wether I run as User or Administrator,
when Auto Determine Network Adapter is clicked
I get the message:
Automatic network adapter detector:  Failed

With 'Auto Determine Network Adapter on Startup' unchecked
selecting either of the two Network Adapter choices
I get the same message.

My Ethernet Adapter is:
Linksys LNE100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter(LNE100TX v4).
This does not show up on the drop down list.

When I start snooping and then open pages in the web browser,
the status bar of url snooper shows
'Sniffing network traffic from WinPcap ADMtek...',
however, no URL results appear.

Any hope?

Hi britefire,


* First, thank you for the detailed clear post.
* Secondly, turn off automatic network adapter detection -- it's optional and only makes it harder to diagnose things when there is trouble.
* Thrid, the key problem seemse clear which is that you know what your network card is, and you are saying that it clearly is not in the network adapter list.I don't know why it wouldnt detect the Linksys LNE100TX -- in fact that card sounds very familiar to me like it might be the one i have.  searching the web seems to show that others with that card are using winpcap based programs without trouble so i don't see why it shoudn't show up.

SO,
i guess i have 3 suggestions to try to figure out what might be wrong:

* 1) reboot, see if that helps
* 2) perhaps try uninstalling the winpcap 4.1 beta (then reboot) and installing winpcap 4.0 maybe (http://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm) or even older (always rebooting after a new install), and see if that fixes it
* 3) Try downloading another winpcap-based product and see if that finds your adapter (maybe winpdump - http://www.winpcap.org/windump/default.htm); you might even try this first because if another winpcap program finds your adapter and url snooper doesn't, then its a bug in url snooper which i would have to track down and fix immediately.

mouser, thanks for the links and the prompt response.

I installed winpdump
and got: listening on /device/NPF_GenericDialupAdapter




Then on opening webpages
I got the same result
ie no change in the .com file.

I uninstalled winpcap 4.1 beta ,
rebooted.
and installed winpcap 4.0.2.

Same result.

So it looks like winpcap just dosnt recognize my adapter?

it kind of looks that way.. but.. i don't know why it wouldnt since other people are using that same adapter with winpcap it seems..
