Network adaptor not being detected
« on: October 10, 2006, 06:37 PM »
Couldn`t get this to work originally, but thought I`d come back to it and have another go with a later version. Two adjacent PC`s. One XPSP2, external ADSL USB modem (where sniffer is installed), the second Win 98. Both "networked" using a cross-over cable. Sniffer can`t auto-detect the network adaptor. Advanced mode shows "Realtek 8139-series PCI NIC (Microsoft`s Packet Scheduler)" in the network adaptor field, and no other, but won`t auto detect, giving "ERROR: Failed to find a suitable network driver. Please ensure you haver a valid internet connection and try again, or try to set your adaptor manually from Advanced mode", which is more-or-less sending me round in circles! Any answers, or am I missing something, somewhere?

turn off auto detecting; just choose the adatper. and see if it will sniff traffic.

I've been wanting to use URLSnooper.  I could only get the latest version to work and detect a driver on a borrowed Win XP machine. All my other computers are WinME. Regardless of the machine, it detects PPP and Unknown.  URL Snooper give an initialization error message with Unknown, but not with PPP.  Still it does not detect with PPP.

Is there a way to manually input an adapter? Any other hints to get it to work?

Thanks,

kisakarina

I'm having the same problem, it use to work fine for me, but now it says "can't detcet network adaptor". When I switch off auto detect there is only one choice I have and that is "generic dialup adaptor", I can't change it.

farah9,

what version do you have installed, and can you remember what version last worked (and was it on same computer)?
and have you tried rebooting since installing?

the latest beta release of url snooper uses a new release of the winpcap sniffing engine so it may be not be working perfectly on all systems..

I'm using the latest version downloaded today, can't remember what version the old one was, same computer and same network adaptor. Yeah I tried rebooting still is detecting as a generic dial up adaptor maybe mines not compatable. Thanks for the help anyway.
