Winpcap 3.1 beta and Snort

["Joerg Abdinghoff" <newsgroup4joerg () gmx com>]

Using Snort under Windows XP with Winpcap 3.1 beta installed causes an
error: "Entry point not found- The procedure entry point PacketGetNetInfo
could not be located in the DDL packet.dll".
After contacting the vendors support, they told me, that "PacketGetNetInfo"
is no more present in Winpcap 3.1 and won't be there any more. Since Snort
calls PacketGetNetInfo, there are two solutions:
1. Use Winpcap 3.0. But since 3.1 introduced nice features (esp. for
DSL-Users) it should only be a temporary workaround.
2. Modify Snort so that it works with that (and future) versions of winpcap.

Just a hint for those users who aren't able to start snort with winpcap 3.1
and don't know, why ;)

Regards,
Joerg
