FYI: Windows 10 + WinPcap not working for me -> use Npcap instead if you have problems

[haja00011]

Hello,

just if someone has a similar problem. I use Windows 10 and tried to run arp_packet example with libpnet version 0.29.0.
I installed WinPcap 4.1.3 copied Packet.lib to correct place. It always hangs forever in: receiver.next().unwrap();.
I checked with Wireshark, packet was sent and answered correctly.

I deinstalled WinPcap and installed Ncap 1.71 in WinPcap compatible mode there it works fine.

No idea why or if there is a workaround, just to let you know if you have a similar problem. (Don't forget to copy Packet.lib also for Ncap)

Btw: WinPcap is not in development anymore. Maybe we should always use Ncap.

Best regards
Jan
