I've rebuilt libpcap and tcpdump from yesterdays tar-balls. But tcpdump on Win-XP has stopped working. I assume it's related to ANSI/Unicode name used in PacketGetAdapterNames. The comment in inet.c "Convert the names to UNICODE for backward compatibility" is misleading. PacketGetAdapterNames() already returns a list of Unicode names (according to packet32.c). tcpdump simply prints: windump.exe: listening on \ windump.exe: Error opening adapter: Systemet finner ikke angitt fil. (file not found). I use winpcap/npf 3.0.1. Has the ANSI/Unicode naming scheme changed in recent npf.sys? A quick fix for me was to change pcap_lookupdev() to fake Win-9x: if ((dwVersion >= 0x80000000 && dwWindowsMajorVersion >= 4) || 1) { --gv - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
