RE: Multi-proc

["Stou Sandalski" <tangui () cell2000 net>]

Really? Nmap and ethereal used to work back when this box had w2k.  From
the winpcap faq (15):

"WinPcap does not support on SMP machines, because we don't have
multiprocessor computers on which to develop/test it. For this reason,
recent versions have an initialization check that prevents them to load
on SMP machines."  

According to this, winpcap 2.3 does not even load on an SMP system
unless you force it to boot with 1 processor.  I think nmap has a custom
version of winpcap... but winpcap 2.3 definitely does not load on my
box.....

I guess this is kind of OT
