RE: Installing WinPcap for Windows XP

["Damon McMahon" <inst_karma () hotmail com>]

The WinPcap driver can't bind to PPP links on Windows NT4/2000/XP, due to 
Microsoft's broken implentation of PPP.

See http://winpcap.polito.it/misc/faq.htm#Q-16

[snip]
Windows NT4/2000: the packet driver works correctly on Ethernet networks. We 
were not able to make it working on PPP WAN links, because of binding 
problems on the NDISWAN adapter.
