Re: npcap and still the same issues

Hi Mike,

Npcap doesn't count on any MAC or IP on its adapters. It only relies on the
miniports. And again:

*Npcap does not necessarily rely on the "Microsoft Loopback Adapter"*.

"Npcap Loopback Adapter" can be any adapter. Npcap just "borrows" the shell
of an adapter. So if your "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" doesn't work out,
you can just choose another workable adapter to be the "Npcap Loopback
Adapter", like a bluetooth adapter, or a real physical ethernet adapter
which is not in use. After you specify its GUID in the registry, Npcap will
recognize it as "Npcap Loopback Adapter" and let all loopback traffic go
through it. The original traffic will be gone. So this whole trick will
sacrifice one of your normal adapters.

So the question is very simple, *can you provide any working adapter to be
the "Npcap Loopback Adapter"?* If the answer is NO, for example, all your
adapters are in the middle of "identifying..", then I must acknowledge that
no one could save your machine.


Cheers,
Yang
